Elon Musk says X will send DMs when posts you’ve engaged with are corrected

埃隆·马斯克表示，当用户互动过的帖子被修正时，X 将发送私信通知

X’s crowdsourced fact-checking system, Community Notes, will be updated to send users direct messages alerting them whenever a post they have interacted with has received a correction. The change, which is not yet live, was announced by X owner Elon Musk. He did not share a time frame for its launch. X 的众包事实核查系统“社区笔记”（Community Notes）即将迎来更新，当用户互动过的帖子收到修正时，系统将向用户发送私信进行提醒。这一功能尚未上线，由 X 的所有者埃隆·马斯克宣布，但他并未透露具体的上线时间。

The update attempts to address one of the bigger criticisms about Community Notes — that corrections arrive too late to matter. A misleading post can accumulate views and reposts while its accuracy is disputed, and by the time it’s corrected, the damage has been done. By proactively notifying users when a post receives a correction, X is trying to extend the reach of the note beyond the original post. This could also allow users who spread false information to issue their own mea culpa, if they had been duped. 此次更新旨在解决“社区笔记”面临的主要批评之一：修正往往来得太晚，失去了意义。一条误导性帖子在准确性受到质疑的同时，可能已经积累了大量的浏览量和转发量，等到被修正时，负面影响已经造成。通过在帖子收到修正时主动通知用户，X 试图将笔记的影响力延伸到原始帖子之外。如果用户是被误导而传播了虚假信息，此举也可能让他们有机会进行自我纠正。

We will be releasing a new @CommunityNotes feature that sends you an 𝕏 Chat message if a post you interacted with is corrected— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 8, 2026 “我们将发布一项新的 @CommunityNotes 功能，如果你互动过的帖子被修正，系统会向你发送一条 𝕏 聊天消息。”—— 埃隆·马斯克 (@elonmusk) 2026年7月8日

X’s Community Notes system was first established when the company was still known as Twitter, before Musk’s acquisition. The idea was to introduce a different way to address misinformation on the platform, rather than require Twitter (now X) to be the centralized authority for moderation decisions. Instead, Community Notes contributors could suggest corrections and add critical details or missing information to posts. Consensus is achieved when people who rate the note as helpful are those who typically have different perspectives, and the note goes live. X 的“社区笔记”系统最初是在该公司仍被称为 Twitter、且尚未被马斯克收购时建立的。其初衷是引入一种处理平台上错误信息的新方式，而不是让 Twitter（现为 X）成为内容审核决策的中心化权威。相反，社区笔记的贡献者可以建议修正，并为帖子添加关键细节或缺失信息。当那些通常持有不同观点的用户都认为该笔记有帮助时，即达成共识，笔记便会发布。

A similar system has since been adopted by Meta as part of its broader moderation overhaul last year, which saw the company eliminate its partnerships with fact-checkers. Though Community Notes makes sense for a company that wants to distance itself from the business of fact-checking, it’s also proven difficult to scale. Meta 在去年更广泛的内容审核改革中也采用了类似的系统，并借此取消了与外部事实核查机构的合作。尽管对于一家希望与事实核查业务保持距离的公司来说，“社区笔记”很有意义，但事实证明，该系统很难规模化。

A 2025 study of the feature by Spanish fact-checking site Maldita found that 85% of the proposed notes on X remain invisible to users, and only 8.3% get published and become visible. A separate study conducted by the Digital Democracy Institute of the Americas (DDIA), which encompassed 1.76 million notes published on X between January 2021 and March 2025, put the figure for unpublished notes even higher at 90%. 西班牙事实核查网站 Maldita 在 2025 年对该功能进行的一项研究发现，X 上 85% 的建议笔记对用户来说仍然是不可见的，只有 8.3% 的笔记最终发布并可见。美洲数字民主研究所 (DDIA) 进行的另一项研究涵盖了 2021 年 1 月至 2025 年 3 月期间在 X 上发布的 176 万条笔记，该研究显示未发布笔记的比例甚至更高，达到了 90%。

This weakens Community Notes as a system that surfaces information when it’s most needed, critics have pointed out. Plus, they’ve argued, people aren’t aware when a post they saw or boosted receives a correction later on, as there’s been no way to bring that information to their attention. Musk’s proposal to send users alerts via X Chat (DMs) would address the latter issue, at least, assuming it goes live. X was asked for comment, but a response was not immediately available. 批评人士指出，这削弱了“社区笔记”在最需要时提供信息的功能。此外，他们认为，人们在看到或转发的帖子后续收到修正时往往并不知情，因为此前没有办法将这些信息传达给他们。马斯克提出的通过 X Chat（私信）向用户发送提醒的方案，至少可以解决后一个问题——前提是该功能能够顺利上线。X 已被要求置评，但目前尚未收到回复。
