The community comments function is one way the X Network tries to combat misinformation, as the network currently refuses to prevent users from spreading information while anonymous. The new function allows the addition of comments written by surfers to tweets that are incorrect, inaccurate or fake, and they sometimes appear under certain tweets. A new study showed that the level of accuracy of these notes reaches 96%.
Musk announced this week that soon this option will be expanded and will appear for all surfers, who will be able to participate in marking the tweets and comments on them, and the Twitter system will add the comments to the specific tweets. Now it is also possible to translate the comments into foreign languages by selecting translate.
The misinformation, known as “fake news”, is a common and persistent problem on X, sometimes more frequently than on other social platforms, because creating a profile on Platforma does not require identification. Many of the users choose to remain anonymous, while defaming each other or spreading false information that peaked during the Corona period and around election campaigns.
