Read our privacy policy Twitter has rolled out its new “Community Notes” feature that lets users add context to tweets in an attempt to help combat misleading content on the platform. The feature takes an open-source approach to debunk misinformation by allowing users to add “helpful and informative context to tweets”, the company said on Saturday. In his vision for the platform after taking over the company, new boss Elon Musk claimed Community Notes will be “a gamechanger for improving accuracy on Twitter”. Since buying the company for $44bn in October, Mr Musk has also made several other changes to the platform in his vision for “Twitter 2.0”.
