X community adds a context note to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. post:  Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s official X account posted, “The Ukrainian military — with President Biden’s approval— is now firing US, British and German missiles onto civilian targets inside Russia including Beograd and other cities in an attempt to bring NATO into all-out war against Russia. The Washington Post is reporting that President Trump is boasting at private fundraisers that he will bomb Moscow, Beijing and North Korea to protect the Zalensky regime. This is madness. Pentagon modeling predicts that 90 million Americans will die in the first few minutes of a nuclear war with Russia and 90 million over the next six months. Those are probably underestimates. It’s time to bring adults back into the room." X added a context label to the post that read "Readers added context they thought people might want to know. Beograd (Београд) is the capital of Serbia, Belgrade. Not a Russian city. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgrade." The label is part of X’s Community Notes system. X users are able to sign up as contributors to add context to posts. X owner Elon Musk recently shared that any post with a Community Note added to it will be demonetized. The Community Notes account on X also posted that notices will now be pushed to users who previously engaged with a post when a Community Note is added to it later. Kennedy responded to the Community Note, saying "Sorry for the typo. Of course, I meant Belgorod."
