Meta's upcoming "Community Notes" feature, similar to the one on Elon Musk's X platform, will not apply to paid advertisements, according to a source familiar with the matter. The program will only be available for organic content—posts that Meta has not paid to promote. 

Certain details of the program are still subject to change, with the Wall Street Journal reporting that brand and influencer posts might not be included in the initial rollout. Meta spokespersons confirmed that "Community Notes" will be introduced gradually in the U.S. over the next few months, with continuous evaluation and improvements expected throughout the year. 

In a major shift in handling political content, Meta recently ended its U.S. fact-checking program and announced the launch of the "Community Notes" system ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration.
