From AI-generated images to manipulated videos, it’s common to come across misleading media. Today we’re piloting a feature that puts a superpower into contributors’ hands: Notes on Media Notes attached to an image will automatically appear on recent & future matching images.

If you're a contributor with a Writing Impact of 10 or above, you’ll see a new option on some Tweets to mark your notes as “About the image”. This option can be selected when you believe the media is potentially misleading in itself, regardless of which Tweet it is featured in.

Raters and readers will see notes that authors marked as “about the image” slightly differently, so it’s clear to everyone that they should be interpreted as about the media, not the specific Tweet. Ratings can help identify cases where a note may not apply to a specific Tweet.

Right now this feature supports Tweets with a single image. We are working to expand it to: - Videos - Tweets with multiple images/videos

It’s currently intended to err on the side of precision when matching images, which means it likely won’t match every image that looks like a match to you. We will work to tune this to expand coverage while avoiding erroneous matches.

We’ll monitor how notes on media are used, and will be looking for your feedback. We’re excited to see contributors’ impact be magnified with this launch. Learn more here: communitynotes.twitter.com/guide/en/contr…

@CommunityNotes Any thoughts on using AI to do the heavy lifting?

@CommunityNotes Hello! @TwitterDev I collated a bunch of techniques together that could help with that. I originally wanted to use it to detect fake/edited profile pictures, but it should also scale up to images. twitter.com/ultimape/statu…
