X community adds a context note to FBI post: The official X account for the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) posted "This #MLKDay, the #FBI honors one of the most prominent leaders of the Civil Rights movement and reaffirms its commitment to Dr. King’s legacy of fairness and equal justice for all." The X community added a note to the post that read: "Readers added context they thought people might want to know. The FBI engaged in surveillance of King, attempted to discredit him, and used manipulation tactics to influence him to stop organizing. King’s family believe the FBI was responsible for his death. cbsnews.com/news/mlks-fami… npr.org/2021/01/18/956… npr.org/2021/01/18/956…" 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.
