X community adds a context note to Brian Krassenstein post: Journalist Brian Krassensten posted a short video clip of Tucker Carlson saying that  he would be interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin, and that there are risks to doing so. Krassenstein's commentary started with "BREAKING: The European Union is said to be seeking sanctions and a 'travel ban' against Tucker Carlson for his interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin." He concluded by saying "The 'risks' of this interview for Tucker shouldn't be sanctions from US allies." X added a label to the post that read "Readers added context they thought people might want to know." The added context read, "The post is incorrect to say that the EU is seeking a sanction. One member of the European Parliament who does not speak for the EU has called for such a sanction. The post is misrepresenting the claims the otherwise accurate claims [sic] in a Newsweek story on the same subject." 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 recently shared that any post with a Community Note added to it will be demonetized. The Community Notes account on X also posted to explain that notices will now be pushed to users that previously engaged with a post about any Community Notes added to it after the engagement. The note was later removed from the post.
