X to notify users via DM when posts they interacted with receive Community Notes
X (formerly Twitter) is developing a feature that will notify users via direct message when a post they've interacted with (liked, replied to, or reposted) receives a Community Note — the platform's crowdsourced fact-checking system. While Community Notes are widely praised as one of the most effective anti-misinformation tools on social media, the article highlights a key flaw: users who engage with misleading content before a note is added never learn that the post was later corrected. The new feature aims to close this gap by proactively alerting users who may have unknowingly amplified false or misleading information.
