Did the Roll-Out of Community Notes Reduce Engagement With Misinformation on X/Twitter?

Developing interventions that successfully reduce engagement with misinformation on social media is challenging.

• One intervention that has recently gained great attention is X/Twitter's Community Notes (previously known as "Birdwatch").
• Community Notes is a crowdsourced fact-checking approach that allows users to write textual notes to inform others about potentially misleading posts on X/Twitter.
• Yet, empirical evidence regarding its effectiveness in reducing engagement with misinformation on social media is missing.
