Community Notes: a collaborative way to add helpful context to Tweets and keep people better informed
Community Notes aims to create a better-informed world, by empowering people on Twitter to collaboratively add helpful notes to Tweets that might be misleading.
Contributors write and rate notes
Contributors are people on Twitter, just like you, who sign up to write and rate notes. The more people that participate, the better the program becomes.
Only notes rated helpful by people from diverse perspectives appear on Tweets
Community Notes doesn’t work by majority rules. To identify notes that are helpful to a wide range of people, notes require agreement between contributors who have sometimes disagreed in their past ratings. This helps prevent one-sided ratings.

Twitter doesn’t choose what shows up, the people do
Twitter doesn’t write, rate or moderate notes (unless they break the Twitter rules.) We believe giving people a voice to make these choices together is a fair and effective way to add information that helps people stay better informed.
Open-source and transparent
It’s important for people to understand how Community Notes works, and to be able to help shape it. The program is built on transparency: all contributions are published daily, and our ranking algorithm can be inspected by anyone. Learn more how it works under the hood.
