Twitter is now accepting Community Notes contributions from four more countries
"Twitter’s crowd-sourced fact-checking program, Community Notes, is now open to contributors in the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. Twitter said over the weekend that it was expanding the contributor base by 10% per week by onboarding new individuals to the program. The social media company has also promised to include people from other countries.
Community Notes aims to allow users to add more context to tweets through links and reports. The program has been widely used to debunk or correct claims made in popular tweets.Twitter introduced the social fact-checking program last year in the US under “Birdwatch”. In September, Twitter started adding more contributors just ahead of the US midterm elections. A month later, it made notes appended by contributors visible to all users in the US."
