When Russia invaded Ukraine last week, misinformation immediately went viral.
While signatories of the International Fact-Checking Network verified images and videos depicting the war in a global database, citizen fact-checkers on Twitter’s Birdwatch were doing their part in flagging — and attempting to debunk — claims of their own.
At the time, only the roughly 10,000 users in the Birdwatch platform could see the less than 125 notes attached to flagged tweets. But Twitter today announced that some regular users would start seeing highly rated fact-checking notes on tweets in their feed.
