In the United States, trick users will soon examine the crowded reality that is shown along with videos on the platform. The company announced that the app was launching a version of its community notes, foot notes.
Taxtok announced its plan to adopt this feature in April, and since then about 80 80,000 users have been approved as a partner. Foot Notes acts like community notes on X. Partners can add a note to videos with false claims, AI-infield content, as well as more contexts. Partners need to refer to the information they provide and other partners need to classify a footnote before a foot notes appear widely. Like X, T -Tauk will also use a bridging algorithm to determine which notes have “reached a wide range of consensus.”
According to the company’s joint screenshots, the photo notes below the video title will appear significantly. Customers will be able to read the full notes and watch a link to its source content.
Although Techtok, unlike Meta, is the latest platform for the approach to get a crowd to check the reality, the company is still continuing to work with the organizations of professional facts in the United States. The company also states that foot notes will be subject to the moderate standard of the same content, as is like the rest of the platform, and that people can report the note that can break its rules. However, the presence of the note will not affect whether a particular video is eligible for recommendations in the “Fed” feed.
For now, the company is making no promises to advance the system ahead of the United States. “We chose the US market because it is quite large that it has a material environmental system that can support such examinations,” Erica Roscock, head of the integrity and authenticity of the ticket, said during a press event. “We will review in the coming weeks and months, as we see how our American pilot is going, even if we want to increase it to additional markets.”
The foot notice tests comes at a moment when the future of the company in the United States is still somewhat. President Donald Trump has delayed three times as a long -term “deal” three times since taking office in January, which has not yet been implemented to make US -owned tickets. Trump said a month ago that the deal could be announced in “two weeks”. Since then, there have also been reports that the Teltic owner Betdance is working on only a new, US version of the app in expecting a deal. Representatives of the Tactics declined to comment on the reports, which suggested that such an app could begin in early September.
