Meta Community notes to use Open-SOS from Elon Musk’s X

Meta To monitor misinformation through crowdsourcing, the upcoming community notes feature will use some techniques developed by Elon Musk’s X for their same service.

On Thursday, Meta revealed more details of its new content moderation tool in a blog post, and said it incorporates the same open-source algorithm that powers the X’s community notes. Meta said that over time it plans to revise the algorithm for better service to its Facebook, Instagram and Threads apps.

Meta said in the post, “The information about the algorithm and program of X is open source – meaning that anyone is free and available to use – we can build on what we can do on it, learn from researchers who have studied it, and have improved the system for our own platforms.” “As our own version develops, we can detect separate or adjusted algorithms to support how community notes are ranked and rated.”

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg picked up community notes as a preferred replacement in the US in the US in January, which he shut down as a part of a comprehensive policy change, which also rested some material moderation guidelines. The company will start testing community notes next week in the US last week, Meta said that users can apply to become contributors until they meet some requirements, including more than 18 and verified phone numbers.

The blog post said that contributors will not be able to submit community notes on advertisements, but “Meta, our officers, politicians and other public data posts, including posts,” will be able to do so on any other forms of material in almost any other form, “the blog post said. Hit post can not be appealed with community notes, but no additional penalty for such materials is not green.

The blog post said, “Notes will provide additional references, but they will not affect who can see the material or it can be shared widely.”

Meta has not planned to open more technical details about its community notes system or release more technical details in public, but is considering the option for the future, Rachel Lambert, director of Product Management in Meta, said in a media briefing.

The company’s blog post said that so far, around 200,000 people have signed up to become community notes contributors “and the weightlist remains open to those who want to participate in the program.

Neil Johnson, a George Washington University’s physics professor and experts spread wrong information and abusive language online, told CNBC in February that a community notes program can help provide references for online content, but “formal fact-locals” is not an alternative.

Johnson depicted a community notes model as an “incomplete system”, which can be exploited with its own agenda by potentially large groups or organizations.

Meta said in a blog post that “publishing a note requires an agreement between various people,” a policy that “against organized campaigns trying to play the system” protects and affects what the notes are published or what they say. ,

The company said that the model would be expanded across the country “Once we are comfortable with the initial beta test that the program is roughly working in the way we believe, although we will continue to learn and improve it as we go.”
