X community adds context note to UK Prime Minister's post: The official X account of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Rishi Sunak posted, "We've made tough decisions on the economy while supporting people through global shocks like the pandemic. Because of those tough decisions, we're able to now cut taxes. Today's tax cut will put £450 back in the pocket of the average worker and help them make ends meet." This post came with a reply post from Rishi Sunak's account, which also received a Community Note. X added a label to the original post that read "Readers added context they thought people might want to know." The added context read, "According to the OBR the tax burden still increases by 8p, the proposed change reduces the burden from 10p obr.uk/docs/dlm_uploa…" 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.
