YouTube is taking steps to combat misinformation on its platform with a new feature called Community Notes. This feature, similar to Twitter’s Community Notes, allows users to submit notes on videos that contain inaccurate or unclear information. The notes are then reviewed and rated by other users to ensure they are helpful and accurate.
The Community Notes feature is currently being tested with a select group of beta testers in the US. These users are able to submit notes on videos, which are then reviewed and published if deemed helpful by a broad set of users. YouTube hopes this feature will create a better-informed community by providing additional context and information on videos.
YouTube has provided additional details on its support page, including best practices for writing notes, such as citing sources and avoiding personal opinions. The feature is currently invite-only, but YouTube is likely looking for users who are knowledgeable about a variety of topics and willing to contribute to the community.
