TIKTOK INTRODUCES COMMUNITY NOTES IN THE FORM OF FOOTNOTES, A NEW FACT-CHECKING TOOL

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

TikTok's Footnotes is officially rolling out in the US for users in the pilot program. There are around 80,000 users contributing to TikTok's version of Community Notes - all of them have had active TikTok accounts for at least six months, live in the US, haven't had community guidelines violations in the past six months, and are at least 18 years old. Footnotes will be moderated with a combination of automated moderation and human moderation. Users can report footnotes they think are untrue or break TikTok's rules.
