Birdwatch Guide
Writing notes
Anyone in the US can read Birdwatch notes, but only Birdwatch contributors can add new notes to Tweets. Here’s how to add a note:
-
Click or tap the ••• menu on the Tweet's top right and then **Write a Birdwatch note**.
-
Before starting, you’ll see a reminder about Birdwatch values, — a prompt to promote helpful contributions.
-
Answer the required multiple choice questions. These are designed to understand, in a structured way, why a Tweet might or might not be misleading.
-
Finally, in the text field, write the context you feel would help others understand why that Tweet is or is not misleading. Citing sources is helpful. (Each URL counts as only 1 character towards the 280 character limit).
-
After it’s submitted, the note will be available on the Birdwatch site for other contributors to read and rate.
-
If your note earns the status of Helpful, it will be shown on Twitter as context and you'll earn Writing Impact.
-
You can delete your notes at any time by clicking or tapping the ••• icon on a note.
