<p>X, the platform formerly known as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a>, will cut revenue sharing for posts that are corrected by Community Notes, owner <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> said on Sunday.</p>
<p>The announcement, yet another chapter in social media&#8217;s struggle with fake news, was met with a mix of praise and words of caution, as some users said the new rules would help diminish misinformation while others raised concerns about the process being abused.</p>
<p>&#8220;Making a slight change to creator monetization: Any posts that are corrected by [Community Notes] become ineligible for revenue share,&#8221; Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1718676793165750564" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X. &#8220;The idea is to maximize the incentive for accuracy over sensationalism.&#8221;</p>
<p>A revamp of Twitter&#8217;s Birdwatch feature, Community Notes is a feature that uses crowd-sourced information to fact-check posts. The notes get attached to posts, offering context and links to give users fuller transparency. X <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/28/23811535/x-twitter-ads-revenue-sharing-program-creators" target="_blank" rel="noopener">began</a> its ad revenue-sharing program over the summer.</p>

<p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1718676793165750564?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 29, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The popular &#8220;Mostly Peaceful Memes&#8221; account responded to the weekend monetization news by <a href="https://twitter.com/MostlyPeacefull/status/1718678264846180459" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asking</a>, &#8220;Don’t you think that community notes will then be weaponized against people to demonetize their content?&#8221;</p>
<p>Frequent X poster Ian Miles Cheong <a href="https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1718677550590050474" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reacted</a> with optimism, saying the decision was &#8220;Probably good,&#8221; adding, &#8220;Should fix a lot of the problems with people posting misinformation on purpose.&#8221; He also wondered, &#8220;What about posts where &#8216;context&#8217; is added, like on memes and such?&#8221;</p>
<p>Another account with hundreds of thousands of followers, &#8220;Comfortably Smug,&#8221; offered an idea of what to do with the money. &#8220;Have the ad revenue go to whoever posted the community note,&#8221; the account <a href="https://twitter.com/ComfortablySmug/status/1718678129323991486" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Incentivizes accuracy.&#8221;</p>

<p>Musk announced the change amid scrutiny of paid-for blue-check accounts being a driving force behind lies or misleading posts, including about big events <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/x-twitter-blue-monetization-musk-israel-palestine-misinformation-fake-news_n_652554cde4b0102e6963882b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">such as the Israel-Hamas war</a>, that go viral and become lucrative. The European Union even issued a warning to Musk earlier this month, saying that X could face <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/10/tech/x-europe-israel-misinformation/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;penalties&#8221;</a> for disinformation. There have also been <a href="https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/musk-twitter-x-acquisition-one-year-user-revenue-decline-1235770297/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> in recent days about plummeting monthly users and ad revenue on X.</p>
<p>Ever since Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-elon-musk-officially-takes-over-twitter-as-sale-is-now-final-top-execs-fired-report-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">purchased</a> Twitter for $44 billion roughly one year ago, the technology entrepreneur has overseen several changes to the platform, including rebranding it as X, shaking up its <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/24/musk-twitter-suspension-policy-00070819#:~:text=Only%20accounts%20that%20are%20pushing,the%20law%20will%20remain%20banned.&amp;text=Elon%20Musk%20on%20Thursday%20announced,the%20law%20will%20remain%20banned." target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspension</a> policy, and implementing a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musks-new-twitter-verification-process-devolves-into-a-confusing-mess" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new verification process</a> that he described as being essential to fend off bot accounts.</p>
