Twitter is rolling out Community Notes worldwide, allowing everyone to view and rate fact checks contributed by other users.<\/p>\n

In a thread on Twitter, the company announces the feature formerly known as Birdwatch is broadly available.<\/p>\n

The thread goes on to explain Community Notes in more detail, along with instructions on how to become a contributor.<\/p>\n

What Are Twitter Community Notes?<\/h2>\n

Community Notes are an open-source solution for fact-checking and providing additional context to content people publish on Twitter.<\/p>\n

People sign up to become Community Notes moderators, which grants them the ability to add notes to tweets and rate notes from other mods.<\/p>\n

All users can view notes on tweets and the rating they receive, which is a sign of social proof that the information is valid.<\/p>\n

Community Notes are one of the few recent additions to Twitter that Elon Musk openly praised upon taking ownership of the company.<\/p>\n

Community Notes launched in 2021 as Birdwatch, and was promptly rebranded when Musk took over.<\/p>\n

Previously, only US Twitter users could view and rate notes. Now, Community Notes are accessible worldwide.<\/p>\n

In addition, Twitter plans to add moderators from other countries as part of this expansion. Here\u2019s how you can sign up.<\/p>\n

How To Sign Up For Twitter Community Notes<\/h2>\n

There are three steps to joining<\/a> Twitter\u2019s Community Notes program.<\/p>\n

Step One: Meet Requirements<\/h3>\n

To join the Community Notes pilot program, your Twitter account must have:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • No recent notice of Twitter Rules violations<\/li>\n
  • Joined Twitter at least six months ago<\/li>\n
  • A verified phone number from a trusted phone carrier<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Step Two: Agree To Community Values<\/h3>\n

    Next, you must acknowledge you agree to uphold the following community values:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Contribute to building understanding<\/li>\n
    • Act in good faith<\/li>\n
    • Be helpful, even to those who disagree<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Step Three: Agree To Public Contributions<\/h3>\n

      In the third and final step, Twitter asks you to agree to the terms that all your contributions and ratings will be made public.<\/p>\n

      The agreement reads:<\/p>\n

      \n

      \u201cWe want everyone to be able to understand and evaluate how Community Notes works. So all your notes and rankings are publicly available, even if your account is protected.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

      When you finish the last step, Twitter will review your application and notify you when you\u2019re accepted into the Community Notes program.<\/p>\n

      In the meantime, you can view contributions from other moderators to get an idea of the types of notes people find helpful.<\/p>\n\n
