X community adds a context note to Ibram X. Kendi's post: Author and activist Ibram X. Kendi posted "When a racist mob attacks a Black person, it finds a seemingly legitimate reason for the attack that allows for it to accrue popular support and credibility, and which allows the growing mob to deny they are attacking the person in this way because the person is Black. 1/4." The X community added a note to the post that read: "Readers added context they thought people might want to know. Other presidents of elite universities (who are not black) lost their jobs for similar reasons in 2023: Marc Tessier-Lavigne of Stanford resigned over research misconduct. npr.org/2023/07/19/118… Liz Magill of Penn resigned over remarks regarding genocide that were substantially the same as Gay's. cnn.com/2023/12/10/bus…" The label is part of X’s Community Notes system. X users are able to sign up as contributors to add context to posts. X owner Elon Musk shared that any post with a Community Note added to it will be demonetized. The Community Notes account on X also posted that notices will be pushed to users who previously engaged with a post when a Community Note is added to it later.
