Why Meta’s Community Notes Model Won’t Cover Paid Ads: Insights from The Jakarta Post

Meta, the company behind Facebook, is introducing a feature called “Community Notes,” similar to what you might see on X, the platform owned by Elon Musk. However, there’s a twist: this feature won’t apply to paid ads. Instead, it will focus on organic content, which includes posts that aren’t sponsored.

According to a source, there are still some unknowns about how this will all work. For example, posts from brands and influencers may not be included in the Community Notes rollout when it starts.

A spokesperson for Meta mentioned that they are beginning to implement Community Notes in the U.S. over the next few months. They are committed to continuously evaluating and improving this new feature throughout the year.

It’s important to note that any details beyond what Meta has already shared are just speculation at this point.

This change comes as part of a broader shift in how Meta handles political content, especially after recently ending its U.S. fact-checking program. They are taking steps to transition to this new system ahead of significant political events.

As Meta moves forward with Community Notes, it aims to provide a more transparent and engaging experience for its users.
