Meta has enhanced its Community Notes feature with new fact-check alerts and user rating capabilities, aiming to improve how users engage with and evaluate potentially misleading content across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. These updates notify users when posts they've interacted with receive a Community Note and allow anyone to request a note or rate its helpfulness, expanding community participation in content verification[2].

Community Notes, launched earlier in 2025 in the United States, is Meta's crowdsourced fact-checking program that replaces its previous reliance on third-party fact-checkers. Instead of Meta or external organizations deciding what is misleading, the system depends on eligible contributors from diverse viewpoints to write and rate notes providing additional context to posts that may confuse or mislead users[1][3][4]. For a note to be published, consensus must be reached among contributors who have previously disagreed on note ratings, helping to reduce bias in the process[1].

Since the launch, over 70,000 contributors have written more than 15,000 notes, although only about 6% have been published, reflecting a stringent vetting process to ensure quality and consensus[2]. The new features currently being tested aim to make the system more interactive and transparent by alerting users about corrections and enabling broader participation in requesting and rating notes[2].

This approach mirrors a similar system introduced by Twitter (now X) but attempts to address some of the criticisms faced by that platform's fact-checking, such as delays and scale issues in flagging misinformation[2]. Meta’s Community Notes system is positioned as a less intrusive alternative to previous warning labels, opting for subtle context additions rather than full-screen interstitial warnings that users must click through[3].

Meta’s discontinuation of third-party fact-checking in favor of a Community Notes system has drawn regulatory scrutiny, especially in the United States, where lawmakers and experts have raised concerns about the potential rise of misinformation on the platform[2]. While Meta insists the system balances free expression and safety, U.S. regulators are closely monitoring how this shift may affect misinformation control, particularly given Meta’s history of political content controversies and recent claims of bias in fact-checking[1][3]. No specific government sanctions or formal regulatory actions have been announced as of September 2025, but the move has intensified calls for stronger oversight of social media misinformation practices.
