TikTok has launched Footnotes, a crowd-sourced fact-checking feature similar to Community Notes on other social networks. Anyone can see and rate Footnotes on helpfulness. To contribute a Footnote, users must qualify and apply to the program. Footnotes is powered be a "bridging" system that looks for "a broad level of consensus" among contributions. TikTok says Footnotes are intended not just for corrections, but also for adding relevant details and context. To qualify to contribute Footnotes, "users must be in the U.S., have had an account for at least 6 months, and no recent Community Guidelines violations." TikTok says nearly 80,000 users currently qualify. The TikTok app is still in unique legal limbo in the US, where it has technically been banned by law, but the current administration has committed to non-enforcement of that law.
