The White House
Case #
5783

Twitter community adds a context note to White House tweet:  The official Twitter account for the White House tweeted, “The Biden-Harris Administration lowered the deficit with the single largest one-year reduction in American history." The tweet included an infographic showing a chart with the average number of jobs created monthly under Biden and the previous five presidents. Twitter added a label to the post that read "Readers added context they thought people might want to know.” The added context read "COVID-driven deficits in both FY20 & 21 were roughly double the previous record (09), making the drop to FY22 sizeable. But the FY22 deficit is still the 4th largest in history and is 41% larger than FY19." The note included a link to an article to support the assertion. The label is part of Twitter’s Community Notes system. Twitter users are able to sign up as contributors to add context to tweets.
