Twitter expands “community notes” feature to images

It would be great if Elon could be trusted with it. But we already know his agenda with Twitter is to push right-wing, "anti-woke" speech and he has already used the platform to promote and spread disinformation, such as mislabeling NPR as a "state owned" media organization (because the right believes it to be essentially an organ of Democratic Party propaganda) and promoting fake accounts of AOC.

What seems likely to happen is fake images that serve right-wing bias will sneak past the filter, while real images that counter that bias will be marked as fake. That seems to be the level of immature chicanery that Twitter under Elon is currently steeping to.

Yeah, I would have thought they'd be abused as a sort of "super reply" to any tweet that goes against whatever narrative is popular on Twitter, but in practice it feels a little more like Wikipedia; there's still occasional bias but everything's usually at least mostly objective and phrased in a neutral tone.
