Twitter when it was still called Twitter had this idea called community notes previously called birdwatch and what it does is is that for each viral post, you can flag as it is needing more context. And then anybody can contribute with context, saying that, oh, that's actually wrong, or that's not like that, or it's missing important fact, and so on. And then those posts with the notes attached, the poster cannot remove the notes that's attached to it. So it serves as a kind of balancing context. And then the notes are selected, not just by counting the votes, but rather by counting the agreement between the people who would otherwise not agree. So for each note, you see a left wing who support it, and the right wing, which doesn't support it, support their own notes, which the left wing also doesn't support. It's very polarized, but there's a few percent of the notes that both sides consider helpful, the upwing, and these nodes are then featured prominently on x.com. And now this algorithm is taken as a default now on X, but also in YouTube and on Facebook threads and so on. So our protocol, the POLIS protocol of the bridging system, is now the default.
