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
Open Notes brings this model to platforms
beyond X.
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
