X community adds a context note to Cenk Uygur post:  Democratic presidential candidate Cenk Uygur's official X account posted, "Bashar Al-Assad in four years of brutalizing Aleppo didn't kill as many civilians as Israel has in two months. Russians killed fewer Ukranian civilians in Maruipol. Israel has killed 20 times the civilians Hamas did. Netanyahu is one of the biggest terrorists of our lifetimes." X added a label to the post that read "Readers added context they thought people might want to know." The added context read, "The UN Commission on Human rights estimates there were. 51,563 deaths in Aleppo. ~21000 killed in Mariupol after Ukraine evacuated most civilians. As of 22 Dec 23, the total Gaza death toll is ~20000. ohchr.org/en/statements/… politico.com/news/2022/06/0… apnews.com/article/israel…. " The label is part of X’s Community Notes system.
