X community adds a context note to post of Babylon Bee article: A popular X user posted a screenshot of a Babylon Bee satirical article headlined “Child Grooming Content On X Reduced By 83% After Disney Pulls Ads." The user added text to the post that read "Hi Bob," a reference to Disney CEO Bob Iger. X added a label to the post that read "Readers added context they thought people might want to know.” The added context read "As shown in the image, this is a satirical article made by the Babylon Bee.

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 to explain that notices will now be pushed to users that previously engaged with a post about any Community Notes added to it after the engagement.
