When you’re like me and spend quite a lot of time scrolling X (previously Twitter), you may possible come throughout quite a lot of posts which have been hit with a Neighborhood Be aware. The problem with Neighborhood Notes is that typically a put up with false data in it may be up for hours, with thousands and thousands of individuals seeing it, earlier than a Neighborhood Be aware can get added to it.

To handle this, X has introduced Lightning Notes, which is able to add Neighborhood Notes to posts quicker than ever earlier than. In a put up on X, the Neighborhood Notes account stated the next:

Neighborhood Notes have been first launched on X in 2022. The system depends on customers to fact-check or add context to posts on its social media platform, which sees a whole bunch of thousands and thousands of lively customers day by day posting and viewing posts.
