Meta is pornografi ne demekworking on implementing community notes on Instagram and Threads.
Shortly after CEO Mark Zuckerberg's big pivot away from fact checking and into community notes, Meta's Threads and Instagram appear to be working on implementing the feature.
This was spotted by mobile developer and leaker Alessandro Paluzzi, who posted a screenshot of the new feature in action, both on Instagram and on Threads.

From Paluzzi's screenshots, presumably taken from a test version of the feature, it appears that the community note option will show up when you click or tap on the three dot menu in a post on Threads or Instagram.
Paluzzi says that the note is anonymous, and that it may get published on the post if it's rated helpful by other users.
When announcing the feature, Zuckerberg argued that "fact-checkers have been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they’ve created."

The move echoes a similar pivot on Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter), which also relies on crowdsourced fact-checking via community notes. However, this didn't work particularly well, as misinformation on the platform increased instead of decreasing.
In another big pivot, Instagram and Threads will soon start recommending political content to its users, despite the company's long-standing stance that this is a bad idea.
