X community adds a context note to Cenk Uygur post:  Democratic presidential candidate Cenk Uygur's official X account posted, "Since Jesus is from Bethlehem, he's technically a Palestinian. Remember that the next time you hear a death toll from the Palestinian territories. If Jesus returns to the place of his birth, could he survive the night? Or would he be just another Palestinian casualty?" X added a label to the post that read "Readers added context they thought people might want to know." The added context read "Although born in Bethlehem, according to Matthew and Luke, Jesus was a Galilean from Nazareth, a village near Sepphoris, one of the two major cities of Galilee and located in present day Israel. Both the New Testament and Qur'an associate him with Nazareth. britannica.com/biography/Jesus." 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.
