X community adds a context note to TikTokComms post: The X account for TikTok's Communications Team posted "Our response to the TikTok Ban Bill in the US:" The post included a video of the TikTok CEO characterizing the Congressional bill as a ban on TikTok, which he characterizes in a very positive light and as a vehicle for free speech. The X community added a note to the post that read: "Readers added context they thought people might want to know. TikTok has not been banned in the US. The new law requires that its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, sell TikTok. The app will only be banned if ByteDance refuses to sell. apnews.com/article/tiktok…" 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 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 be pushed to users who previously engaged with a post when a Community Note is added to it later. The TikTokComms account responded to the Community Note, saying "The community note above is false and should be removed. The law Congress passed and the President signed was designed to have a predetermined outcome: a ban on TikTok. Some of the bill's biggest cheerleaders in Congress have said so repeatedly, and publicly. No matter how they try to disguise it, this is a ban, plain and simple."
