X community adds a context note to Yanis Varoufakis post: Professor of Economics Yanis Varoufakis posted on X: "Just for one second dare to imagine the West's reaction if Putin's soldiers had invaded a packed Ukrainian hospital, to 'denazify' it, prevented staff from treating thousands of injured people - mostly kids -, blown up its water pipers and brought in zero medical supplies." X added a label to the post that read "Readers added context they thought people might want to know." The added context read, "Russian forces directly and multiple times bombed the Mariupol’s Maternity Hospital No 3, without any advance warning and not using low-yield weapons. The bombings also happened during a ceasefire for civilian evacuation. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariupol_… aljazeera.com/news/2022/3/9/… telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…"

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.
