X community adds a context note to Joe Biden post:  Joe Biden's official X account posted, “The economy created 199,000 jobs in November, for a total of over 14 million jobs since I took office. That’s more than 14 million additional Americans who know the dignity and peace of mind that comes with a paycheck." The post included an animated infographic using a bar chart to show the "Total Jobs Created by President First 34 Months in Office," reportedly sourced to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and only including Biden, Trump, both Bush's and Reagan. X added a context label to the post that read "Readers added context they thought people might want to know. The over 14M (14.2M) jobs total is factually correct but missing context. The November 2023 figure is 4.7M higher than the February 2020 peak of employment before COVID-19 forced shutdowns and layoffs. It’s more accurate to say 9.5M jobs were recovered and 4.7M created. data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES…" 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 that notices will now be pushed to users who previously engaged with a post when a Community Note is added to it later.
