Meta said it will begin testing fact-checking in the U.S. through Community Notes across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads on March 18 onwards and will use the open-source algorithm from rival Elon Musk's X as the basis of its rating system.

Meta will begin testing its Community Notes feature, which replaces fact-checking with crowdsourced commentary, next week. It relies on X's open-source tech.
