The Problem

Moderating online conversations is getting harder.

  • Moderation costs and operational complexity are rising across online platforms

  • Many disputes involve contested claims that require context, evidence, and interpretation

  • Enforcement-heavy moderation often suppresses conversation without resolving disagreement

Precedent

Community Notes demonstrated a different model.

  • Contributors write notes explaining disputed claims

  • Structured workflows help ensure notes are evidence-based and balanced

  • Outcomes depend on agreement across people who normally disagree — not simple majority vote

Proven in Practice

Independent research suggests this model can work at scale.

32%

of authors delete or revise posts after a Community Note appears.

~97%

accuracy in independent evaluation of Community Notes addressing vaccine misinformation.

Cross-perspective agreement

required — notes only appear when contributors who normally disagree rate them helpful.

These results suggest that adding context can often resolve disputes more effectively than removing content.

Expansion

  • Extends the Community Notes approach across online platforms

  • Community participation expands moderation capacity beyond internal teams

  • In many cases, community contributions scale moderation more efficiently than AI or internal review

  • AI assistance helps contributors research and draft notes faster
