If you’re a factual person, you can now help Meta fight disinformation

Meta announced soon after Trump’s reelection that it will drop fact-checking in favor of a more liberal moderation method: community notes. But not every user will be able to leave community notes under a post, so for that reason Meta announced that it’s recruiting people who are willing to become contributors to this feature.

The Community Notes feature is not yet available, but Meta plans to launch a beta version very soon, so if you’re a fact person and want to help Meta fight disinformation, you can now apply to become a contributor.

Before doing that though, you must meet a few requirements. First off, you must be based in the United States, be over 18, have an account that’s more than 6 months old and in good standing. Also, you must have a verified phone number or have set up two-factor authentication.

Once the Community Notes beta launches, Meta will begin admitting eligible contributors off the waitlist. According to the social giant, the feature will be rolled out “over the next few months.”

For the unaware, here is how Community Notes will work on Meta’s social apps. Whenever a post might be inaccurate or confusing, a Community Notes contributor can write and submit a note with background information, a tip or an insight that people might find useful.
