Community Notes: A New Way to Add Context to Posts

FRISSÍTVE 2025. NOV. 19.
As we announced in March 2025, Meta has rolled out a Community Notes feature that lets people add more context to Facebook, Instagram and Threads posts that are potentially misleading or confusing. Meta has always been clear that we don’t think we should be the arbiters of truth, and our approach has long been to surface information that people find helpful in deciding what to read, trust or share. Beginning in the United States, instead of relying on third-party fact-checking organizations, we are using Community Notes to draw on a broader range of voices that exist on our platform to decide which content would benefit from additional information. Meta does not decide what gets rated or written – the community does.

FAQ
STATUS: Community Notes is available across Facebook, Instagram and Threads to eligible contributors based in the United States. We are continuing to admit eligible contributors into the program in order to test the Community Notes writing and rating system. Now that notes are appearing on posts, we have stopped showing new third-party fact checking labels in the United States.
HOW IT WORKS
Community Note contributors can write and submit a note on posts that they think are potentially misleading or confusing. A community note may include background information, a tip or an insight people might find useful. For a note to be published on a post, people who have previously disagreed on note ratings in the past will have to agree that a note is helpful. Notes will not be added to content when there is not enough agreement on the helpfulness of a note or when people agree a note is not helpful.
Getting Started
People can sign up for the opportunity to be a contributor to Community Notes. Click here for details.

People can sign up (Facebook, Instagram, Threads) for the opportunity to be a contributor to this feature.

People can sign up to be a Community Notes contributor if they are based in the United States, over 18 years old, have an account that’s more than 6 months old and in good standing, and have a verified phone number or have set up two-factor authentication. To be in good standing, an account must not have violated our policies meant to prevent the most severe harms — such as terrorism, child sexual exploitation, and fraud and scams — and they also have not repeatedly violated our other policies.

We want contributors to be comfortable writing notes, and for notes to be rated based on the content and their helpfulness, not on who wrote them. So to start, notes won’t have author names attached to them. In the future, we may enable contributors to have a profile with a record of their previous contributions and even a unique display name. This will allow the contributor community to see more about how other contributors write and rate, and give them more information about who is providing that context.
Writing Notes
Community Notes contributors are able to write and submit notes on most organic public Facebook, Instagram or Threads content that they feel may benefit from additional context.

Contributors may select a public post by clicking on the “three dot” menu and choosing “write community note.” Most public content is eligible, including content posted by politicians, Meta or Meta executives. To start, some types of content may not be supported, such as ads. Also, Community Notes cannot be added to content with limited audiences such as private posts, messages, Events, Dating, and Marketplace content.

Posts that users tell us may benefit from a community note appear in a dedicated surface for contributors. Contributors may write a note about a post identified by the community or choose a post on their own. See more about “How to request a note” below.

Each community note has a limit of 500 characters and should include background information, an insight or other helpful context that is relevant to the post. Each note must include a link to a source that supports the note. All submitted notes must follow Meta’s Community Standards.

Once a contributor submits their community note, it will be available for other contributors to rate whether or not the note is helpful. A submitted note won’t appear on the post until enough other contributors agree that it’s helpful. Contributors are informed when a note they have written is published.

To start, notes cannot be edited after they are submitted. However, contributors may delete their own notes, even if published, in which case no one will be able to see or rate it anymore.
Rating Notes
Community Notes contributors are able to rate which notes submitted by others in the community are helpful.

Contributors have access to a Feed of notes that still need ratings prior to being published, which they can access in their Facebook, Instagram and Threads settings (see Settings/Community Notes/Rate Notes within each app).

When a contributor submits a note on a post, that note will appear in the rating feed for others to rate. (See more about “How to request a note” below.) We prioritize notes based on recency and virality of the post they were added to, in order to improve the timeliness and visibility of notes. Notes with a higher level of contributor agreement of helpfulness may appear more prominently in this feed, whereas notes that contributors agree are not as helpful may appear less prominently.

When rating a community note, contributors must select whether they find it to be “helpful” or “not helpful”, which will help determine whether the note gets published. Contributors have the option of identifying which factors contributed to their decision, such as whether the note is relevant to the post, easy to understand, and uses neutral or unbiased language, among others. If our systems detect identical posts within the same app, we’ll also ask contributors if they think the note should be added to them. This input will help determine whether the note gets added to matched content. Currently, contributor ratings cannot be changed or removed.
Publishing Notes
Enough contributors must agree that a community note is helpful before it can be published on a post.

Our system identifies when there is agreement among contributors who normally disagree with each other on the helpfulness of a note. It is only based off of contributor rating history. Currently, a contributor must submit 10 ratings before their ratings count towards the helpfulness of notes and their profile is complete. This approach ensures that notes reflect a range of perspectives and reduces the risk of bias. If enough contributors from the community also agree that notes should be added to identical posts within the same app, we will add the matching notes to them. Community Notes contributors decide what notes get written, how they are rated, and whether notes should be added to identical posts – not Meta.

A community note appears as a label added to the bottom of a Facebook, Instagram or Threads post, and reshares of those posts. The label does not impact people’s ability to see the original post. Post authors will receive a notification when a note has been published to their post, but will not be able to remove the note. When a note appears on a post, it won’t affect who can see that content or how widely it can be shared.

To help give people more context, Meta sends notifications to some people who had previously engaged with a post that later receives a community note. This includes people who had reposted, left a comment, or requested a note for a post. Community Notes contributors are also notified anytime a note they have written or rated as “helpful” goes on to be published.

For the first two weeks after a note publishes, it may disappear (and reappear) if more ratings come in and the overall contributor agreement on the helpfulness of a given note changes. The published status of a note will lock after two weeks. Meta does not decide which notes get rated or written, but will remove notes that do not follow our Community Standards.
Other Ways to Get Involved
People can ask for a community note on content and also leave feedback on published community notes, even if they’re not signed up as contributors.

Users may select “Request Community Note” after clicking on the “three dot” menu located on posts they see on Facebook, Instagram or Threads. Eligible posts may be surfaced for review by Community Notes contributors, though it is ultimately up to the community to decide whether to write, rate and publish a note. [Note: This feature is currently testing in the United States and may not be available yet to all users]

Users may indicate whether they agree with Community Note contributors that a given note is helpful by “liking” or “disliking” it in their feed. Doing so will not impact whether a note appears on content but provides important feedback that allows us to continue improving Community Notes. [Note: This feature is currently testing in the United States and may not be available yet to all users].
Frequently Asked Questions

Please visit our Community Notes site for more information about the feature and how to become a contributor. We intend to be transparent about how Community Notes is working and how different viewpoints inform the notes displayed in our apps. Transparency is important to us and we are working on how we can best share this information with input from the broader community.

We have protections against abuse and bias built into the Community Notes rating system. Publishing a community note does not rely on majority rule: people with a range of perspectives and who may normally disagree, based on how they’ve rated in the past, will have to agree that a note is helpful in order for that note to be published. For example, if two contributors who usually disagree about whether a note is helpful, agree that a note is helpful then that note is more likely to be published. All submitted community notes also must still follow our Community Standards, which don’t allow for things like doxxing or bullying and harassment. Meta will remove notes that do not follow our policies.

Anyone with an account can sign up to be a contributor for Community Notes as long as they meet our eligibility criteria. Pages on Facebook will not be eligible at first, but professional accounts on Instagram and Threads will be.

As we do with most new product rollouts, we’ll initially be focusing on organic content. That means right now advertisements are not eligible to have a community note added to them.

During testing, ads will not appear adjacent to content with Community Notes. We will continue to evaluate our approach to Community Notes as we test and learn, and we are committed to giving advertisers transparency and control over their brand safety and suitability.

Yes, politicians’ content is eligible for the Community Notes feature. Similar to how we’re approaching Community Notes overall, we are going to take time to publish these notes to ensure we’re confident the writing and rating system and the algorithm are working correctly.

No, Meta’s platforms are built to be places where people can express themselves freely. Community Notes won’t have penalties associated with them, and when a community note appears on a post, it won’t affect who can see that post or how widely the post can be shared.

To start, Community Notes is available in six languages most commonly used on our platforms in the United States including: English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, French, Portuguese.

To begin with, Community Notes is open to contributors based in the U.S. based on our existing systems that determine where a person is based. Since we’re rolling the feature out in the U.S. at first, content created by people outside of the U.S. will not be eligible for notes and notes will only be visible in the U.S. You can read more about how Meta approaches a person's location here.

We have ended our third party fact checking program in the United States now that Community Notes is live. We will continue to evaluate our approach before expansion to other countries. There are no changes to other countries at this time. Click to see more about our third party fact checking program and our approach to misinformation.

No. We continue to have Community Standards, which outline what is and isn't allowed on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Threads. We continue to enforce our Community Standards, and our review teams and machine learning technology detect, review and take action on content around the world 24/7 to enforce our policies. Within our Community Standards we have a Misinformation policy. We remove misinformation where it is likely to directly contribute to the risk of imminent physical harm. We also remove content that is likely to directly contribute to interference with the functioning of political processes.
