The White House
Case #
5781

Twitter community adds a context note to White House tweet:  The official Twitter account for the White House tweeted, “750,000 manufacturing jobs have been created under President Biden’s leadership." Twitter added a label to the post that read "Readers added context they thought people might want to know.” The added context read "There are 750k more manufacturing jobs now than in Jan 2021. But there are only 150k more manufacturing jobs now than in Jan 2020. (We lost a lot of these jobs due to COVID in 2020, the recovery of which drives the differences in these numbers.)" The note included a link to an article to support the assertion. The label is part of Twitter’s Community Notes system. Twitter users are able to sign up as contributors to add context to tweets.
