Overview

Join the R Street Institute for a friendly debate about the utility of Community Notes in addressing misinformation. As platform censorship policies became highly criticized by the public and the government after the COVID-19 pandemic, social media platforms including X and Meta are embracing a more hands-off approach where, instead of removing content, users add relevant context to it. Panelists will discuss and debate current research around Community Notes and its effectiveness against misinformation going forward.
