TikTok will soon let some of its users help fight misinformation on the app, it said Wednesday, following similar moves from Meta and social platform X.
With a new feature, Footnotes, TikTok will let a select group of users add context and background information to some of the short videos on the app, along with links to the information’s sources. That group – for now, nearly 80,000 qualified users – will be able to rate those notes for helpfulness. Those with the highest ratings will be displayed at the bottom of all US users’ screens.
