Vitalik: Note-taking feature on X platform community may be the closest example to "cryptocurrency value" in the mainstream world.

BlockBeats news, on August 16th, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin shared his views on the Community Notes feature of X platform (formerly Twitter). Community Notes is a fact-checking tool that sometimes attaches contextual annotations to tweets as a tool for fact-checking and combating misinformation. It was originally called Birdwatch and was launched as a pilot project in January 2021. Vitalik said that what interested him most about Community Notes is that although it is not a "crypto project," it may be the closest thing to a "crypto value" example seen in the mainstream world. Community Notes are not written or planned by a group of selected experts; instead, they can be written and voted on by anyone, and which annotations are displayed or not displayed is entirely determined by open-source algorithms. The Twitter website provides detailed and extensive guidelines describing how the algorithm works, and users can download data containing published annotations and votes, run the algorithm locally, and verify that the output matches the content visible on the Twitter website. It is not perfect, but surprisingly close to meeting the ideal of trustworthy neutrality. At the same time, even in controversial situations, it is impressively useful.
