X community adds a context note to Vivek Ramaswamy post:  Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's official X account posted, “You know what’s naive? Those who claim that Ukraine is a paragon of “democracy” in a battle of good vs. evil. Here’s the TRUTH about the Zelensky regime: - Banned 11 opposition parties - Recently assassinated a 2019 Ukrainian Presidential candidate -Consolidated all TV media into a single state TV media entity - Recently banned the Ukrainian Orthodox Church -Threatened not to hold elections unless the U.S. forks over more money - Called “an autocrat” by the current mayor of Kyiv - One of the worst records on Earth for government corruption.” The post included a video of Ramaswamy discussing this on Fox & Friends. X added a context label to the post that read "Readers added context they thought people might want to know. Elections under martial law are illegal and opposed by 81% of Ukrainians. Zelensky did not "threaten not to hold elections", but said after external pressure to hold them anyway that this would require more aid, as he would not fund elections at the expense of weapons. foreignpolicy.com/2023/11/17/ukr… euractiv.com/section/global…" 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.
