For the uninitiated: Birdwatch was later renamed to Community Notes after Elon took over, it's the same feature just stripped of the bird pun.
Community Notes is now just opinions.
I find them to be pretty good at cutting through people’s clickbait posts.
I haven’t seen community notes on a post that didn’t patently deserve it.

Was Twitter Cortex created from a graph-ml startup acquisition (M. Bronstein | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabula_AI ?) (initial research on news misinfo analysis use-case)?
"where contributors annotate misinformation"
Okay, sure, but who decides what's being categorized as "misinformation" ?
It's never been easier to manipulate and lie to millions of people at the same time, convincing them of truths that aren't any. We have governments spying on us, lying to us to go to war, lying to us to justify war.
Marketing Machines re-define words and people just pick them up and use them.
A video game industry that deliberately works towards more and more efficient ways of manipulating people into doing things by deliberately targeting the pleasure centers in their brains, turning human beings into mindless automatons who keep grinding all day "because they want to".
Scientific progress? That doesn't seem to work either, because the amount of papers that needed to be redacted skyrocketed. Research is dictated by money, presented results are dictated by money. Truthfullness simply isn't a significant factor anymore.
Who are we supposed to trust? The ones who tell us there is misinformation out there and that they're the only ones we should listen to?
Yeah, fuck no. Ignoring that nobody should ever "just believe" anything at all, especially when it comes to a central source ... why should I believe the entities who massively helped creating the status quo in the first place?

Sounds like Slashdot’s meta-moderation, no?
