X community adds a context note to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) post: The X account for Rep. Tony Gonzales posted "What a disaster." The post included a screenshot of an article headline from the Uvalde Leader News. The headline read "UPD: U.S. Congressional candidate left device that brought in bomb squad." The post did not include a link to read the article. The X community added a note to the post that read: "Readers added context they thought people might want to know. This implies Herrera planted a bomb at a school. However, he received a spent ammo casing as a joke, regifting it to a fan who left it at a restaurant. It's vital to read the full article. Team Tony omitted this context. Source: uvaldeleadernews.com/articles/upd-s…" 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.
