According to a new report, Vice President Kamala Harris ‘ campaign attempted to sway the” Community Notes” fact-checking feature on X, formerly Twitter, by removing and amplifying negative content about former president Donald Trump.
According to The , Federalist, the Harris campaign has directed political volunteers to block Community Notes on X that they “do n’t like” and manipulate the social media platform’s fact-checking program. According to The Federalist, one user on a Harris campaign Discord server admitted that one of the campaign’s objectives is to have political volunteers work to “block]Community Notes ] we do n’t like.”
The Federalist reported that X, the social media platform, censored some material before Tesla CEO Elon Musk bought it. The social media platform launched Community Notes as a collaborative version of fact-checking following Musk’s order of X.
An X customer can sign up for Community Notes and pass a certain ranking threshold, according to The Federalist. If a Community Note source shares a word, it may become publicly accessible if it receives adequate ratings from various contributors.
The Harris party’s X accounts frequently shares posts about Trump taken out of context, according to The Federalist, which results in several Community Notes being suggested. We ca n’t play games with these people, the outlet said,” We ca n’t play games with these people,” which is one instance of a situation where the KamalaHQ X account shared a clip of Trump taken way out of context. I’ve never seen anything quite like this, but these are dangerous individuals.

Trump particularly made reference to President Joe Biden, former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and an American who leaked Israel’s strategies for retaliation against Iran, not the American citizens, in the video clip.
A alleged Democrat staff member allegedly asked volunteers to charge notes as” not good” on a Discord channel, according to The Federalist. Despite Trump’s offer being removed from context, the Harris campaign’s post’ proposed Community Note was never published, according to the outlet.
Additionally, according to The Federalist, “paid Democrat staffers are… writing dubious Community Notes on X to undermine GOP and Trump messaging.” There is also a” twitter-community-notes” channel on Discord. They therefore encourage participants to charge them favorably”.
Additionally, The Federalist reported that Harris campaign volunteers can enroll in a” Twitter ( X ) Community Notes Training” module to learn how to rate Community Notes and begin writing their own Community Notes.
