Elon Musk says Twitter's Birdwatch feature will be renamed 'Community Notes' and is aimed at 'improving information accuracy' amid growing content-moderation concerns

As the new CEO faces ongoing concerns over content inaccuracies and moderation on the social media platform, Musk said on Saturday that an expansion of the Birdwatch feature could improve information accuracy.

Users will be able to add context to their notes. Musk said that the tool could improve information accuracy on the platform.

The billionaire made the comments in response to a message from the Vice President of Product on the use of Birdwatch.

The number of Birdwatch notes had increased to 131 a day, up from 45 a day prior, according to a thread written by Alex Mahadevan, director of Mediawise.

Birdwatch notes became public to users in October, after the feature was launched in a pilot program in the US. Coleman wrote that the feature on the website allows people to identify misleading information and write notes that give context.

Coleman believes the approach has the potential to respond quickly when misleading information is spread.

In the past week, Birdwatch notes have appeared on a number of social media sites. He claimed that activist groups were to blame for the drop in revenue.

He said that the thing was messed up. Free speech is being destroyed in America.

Several advertisers have confirmed they are pausing spending while they see what direction Musk takes with the platform, and links to a Guardian article about General Mills temporarily pulling advertising.

Hundreds of employees were cut off from operating the content moderation system, leaving just 15 staff with access to the program.

According to The Financial Times, Musk told advertisers that he was considering creating tiers of moderation similar to movie ratings.

Posts were only visible on a separate Birdwatch site before they were integrated into the platform. Birdwatch is made up of independent contributors, and individual notes are never written by the social network.

"This is intentional, as it helps ensure our efforts to address potentially misleading information are informed by a diverse group of people who use our service," the company wrote.

Users can rate notes on a scale of "Helpful" or "Not Helpful" and the notes are made public.
