When a company is willing to actually have the truth debated on their platform, it forces the other platforms to allow things to be more truthful and to not censor, because censorship becomes glaringly obvious.
A strong rebuttal to hoaxes is to go to the source material. If someone claims, for example, that “Trump said that we should put Liz Cheney in a firing squad,” the response is to send a link to the source video so you can watch it yourself. Don’t take anyone’s opinion for it; go to the source material.
Community notes are highlighted as essential. They are incredible because everybody gets checked, including the speakers. The software and the data are open source, so you can recreate any given note independently. This level of openness is described as total absolute transparency in every way.
The speaker notes that they do not remove notes on their own count, not even occasionally—mostly asked by the left, sometimes by the right—because everything is totally open, and removing a note would stick out like a sore thumb immediately.
This approach is described as the best counter to misinformation: transparency and open verification. Community notes provide real-time checking by the community, with millions of people able to review and debate whether something is true or not.
The overarching point is that the counter to misinformation is better information. The recommended practice is to look at the source material and see what someone actually said, what someone actually did, and the real videos of the situation, to determine what is real.
