X's Community Note is a feature that allows users to add background information or corrections when a post on X contains misleading or incorrect information. Additions made using the Community Note feature are rated by other users to determine whether they are useful or not. The ratings of Community Notes are fed back to the user who made the addition and the users who rated the addition, which helps prevent bias in ratings.
The Community Note has become a model for user-driven fact-checking features, with Facebook and Instagram's Meta having similar systems in place and YouTube also experimenting with a similar feature.

Footnotes, announced by TikTok this time, will be offered in the United States and is scheduled to be made public by 2025. Only users who meet the following requirements are eligible to participate in Footnotes: 'Has been registered with TikTok for more than six months,' '18 years of age or older,' and 'Has no recent history of violating the community guidelines.'
TikTok explained about Footnotes, 'Footnotes is a bridge-based ranking system designed to find common ground between people who usually hold different opinions. It is inspired by open source systems used on other platforms, where contributors with different opinions can post footnotes and vote on their usefulness. Only footnotes that meet the 'useful' criteria are made public to the community and can be voted on by the broader community. The more footnotes on different topics are posted and rated, the smarter and more effective the system becomes.'
TikTok says, 'We give more than 170 million Americans the freedom to express themselves and share, which results in a vast amount of content to discover and learn from. Whether the content discusses a complex STEM-related concept, shares a statistic that may mislead a topic, or provides an update on an ongoing event, there's likely additional context that can help others understand more deeply. That's why we're building Footnotes.'
