This might actually end up being a good thing. If users can fact-check stuff instead of relying kn Meta to do it for us. It seems bad, but there are a lot of people willing to correct their misinformation.
On the flipside, why are people still using facebook? It's like 90% AI slop these days.
The idea of this being useful assumes meta won't be removing community notes they don't like.
Isnt this better than meta being entirely responsible for fact checking?
