I really like community notes. It's been a while in Brazil they are being used to check politicians who always lie in their post and try to rewrite history.

Its like a small note of shame in their posts, and it seens so far they been using it in politicians in all sides of the political spectrum.

It's so sad that the same politicians want to regulate all kinds of information sources to "combat" disinformation ("fake news").

Oh yeah. Under the guise of fighting fake news and protect the kids.

It's always the same couple of lazy excuses.
