After announcing its plan to end third-party fact-checking<\/a> in January 2025, Meta’s crowdsourced replacement is finally starting to take shape. You can now join a waitlist to be a Community Notes contributor<\/a> on Facebook, Instagram and Threads when the feature rolls out in the coming months.<\/p>\n

Contributors are expect to provide context via a note when a post on one of Meta’s platforms “might be inaccurate or confusing,” according to the company’s sign-up page. Community Notes will be able to be added to “most public content across Facebook, Instagram and Threads” and must be 500 characters or fewer<\/a>. Any note is also subject to Meta’s Community Standards and the judgment of other contributors. Meta expects contributors to rate notes so that the correct context gets displayed under posts.<\/p>\n

To sign-up, you need to be based in the US, be over the age of 18, have a Meta account that’s more than six months old and in good standing and have either a verified phone number or two-factor authentication. Meta says contributors will start to be taken off the waitlist once the Community Notes beta launches. The company hasn’t given a hard date for the launch, but does mention that Community Notes will be phased in “over the next few months.”<\/p>\n

Meta started testing Community Notes on Threads<\/a> a little over a month ago. The feature, in name and basic functionality, is inspired by X’s Community Notes, which originally launched in 2022<\/a> when the company was still known as Twitter. Community Notes and other crowdsourced pseudo-fact checks have been tested on Google platforms like YouTube<\/a> and Search<\/a> as well, and they all have the same general weakness. A crowdsourced answer doesn’t come with the same guarantee of accuracy as one provided by someone whose sole job it is to be an impartial fact-checker.\u00a0<\/p>\n
