X community adds a context note to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) post: The X account for Rep. Tony Gonzales posted "Brandon Herrera isn’t even registered to vote in Texas. What a fraud!" The post included a still image from a Gonzalez political ad with text reading "East Coaster Brandon Herrera is a little lost." The still included graphics showing the distance between Fayetteville, NC and several Texas cities presumably in the contested district, including El Paso, Eagle Pass and San Antonio. The X community added a note to the post that read: "Readers added context they thought people might want to know. Brandon Herrera's family is from Texas. He born in Ft. Bragg, North Carolina due to his parents' military background. Ernest Anthony “Tony” Gonzalez II was a registered Florida voter since 2016. registration.elections.myflorida.com/en/CheckVoterS… brandonherreraforcongress.com TonysVotingRecord.com" 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.
