Footnotes, TikTok’s crowdsourced fact-checks, launches in the US
TikTok has launched a new feature called "Footnotes" in the United States, which allows users to crowdsource fact-checks. The feature enables all U.S. TikTok users to view notes that have been rated as helpful by the community and submit their own ratings. This move is part of TikTok's efforts to combat the spread of misinformation on its platform. By leveraging the collective knowledge of its user base, Footnotes aims to provide additional context and verification for content shared on the app. The launch of Footnotes in the U.S. follows a successful pilot in select markets, where the feature has been used to address a range of topics, from current events to viral trends. The feature is designed to empower users to actively participate in the fact-checking process, contributing to a more informed and responsible social media landscape.
