Twitter pilots feature allowing users to add context to misleading tweets

• The pilot is available in a separate section of Twitter to a small group of users who apply for the program.
• "Eventually we aim to make notes visible directly on Tweets for the global Twitter audience, when there is consensus from a broad and diverse set of contributors,” Coleman wrote.

The big picture: It's the latest move by Twitter to grapple with misinformation and disinformation on its platform.

• It's also an acknowledgment that Twitter needs help with monitoring content and that a possible solution lies in the "wisdom of the crowds," writes Axios' Ina Fried.
• But there's also a risk of such systems being abused to target legitimate commentary from a minority view.

What they're saying: "We believe this approach has the potential to respond quickly when misleading information spreads, adding context that people trust and find valuable," Coleman wrote.
