X community adds a context note to user's post: An X (formerly Twitter) user posted a thread that began with "Here are 15 quotes by Winston Churchill that give me goosebumps every time I read them. Don't just read them, absorb them." One of the included posts read "'A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.'" The X community added a note to the post that read: "Readers added context they thought people might want to know. This quote is often misattributed to Winston Churchill. checkyourfact.com/2019/07/25/fac… quoteinvestigator.com/2017/07/26/opt…." 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.
