CEO Linda Yaccarino States Community Annotations May Appear on News and Other Platforms
At the VivaTech technology conference in Paris, CEO Linda Yaccarino shared X's plans to expand its crowd-sourced fact-checking feature, Community Notes, to various platforms, including newspapers. Yaccarino discussed the possibility of sharing this tool with companies like Groupe Les Echos-Le Parisien, represented by fellow panelist Pierre Louette.
Initially introduced by X, formerly known as Twitter, in 2021, Community Notes enables users to fact-check misleading posts by providing additional context. Volunteers contribute notes, which are then evaluated through a voting process. X's algorithms determine which context notes are displayed alongside misleading posts.
Since Elon Musk's acquisition of X in 2022, the tool has been promoted as a defense against misinformation and occasionally positioned as an alternative to traditional journalism.

"We've shifted towards a culture driven by clickbait and partisan news, which undermines traditional revenue models," remarked Yaccarino, previously leading NBCUniversal's global advertising division. "The root of the issue lies in our transition to a space where extreme voices dominate, prioritizing clicks over accuracy."
