Community Notes, Meta’s Model is Not Applied to Paid Ads

Community Notes will be enabled for organic content on Meta Platforms. Facebook parent Meta’s “Community Notes,” which are used on Elon Musk’s social media platform X, will not apply to paid ads when they launch later this year, a source familiar with the subject told Reuters on Thursday.

Community Notes on Meta Platforms will be enabled for organic material, according to a source. Organic content refers to posts that Meta has not been paid to promote.

According to people familiar with the discussions, Facebook and Instagram owner Meta Platforms assured advertisers this week that its “Community Notes,” which will allow users to crowdsource annotations on posts they believe are false or require context, will not apply to paid ads when they launch later this year.

And according to the Wall Street Journal, which originally reported on the development, aspects of the program are still open to change, and brand and influencer organic postings may not be subject to Community Notes when they go live.

“We are making the transition to Community Notes over the next couple of months in the United States and, as with any new product rollout, we’ll continually evaluate and improve it over the course of the year,” according to a statement issued by Meta.

A Meta spokesman stated that any assumptions regarding how the product would work that differ from what has previously been formally announced are simply guesswork and speculation.

Meta ditched its US fact-checking program this week and announced plans to implement a “Community Notes” system ahead of US President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, marking the company’s most significant shift in its approach to managing political content.

The social media business will begin rolling out “Community Notes” in the United States in the coming months, with plans to improve the concept throughout the course of the year.

Advertisers have been anxious to find out how they will be affected since Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on January 7 that the company’s fact-checking would be discontinued and replaced with Community Notes.

Meta’s Community Notes will resemble those of social media site X, in which volunteers suggest and accept addendums to posts that they believe require further information. X’s system applies to both paid and unpaid posts, and adverts for businesses ranging from Apple to Uber have been flagged in accompanying user notes for potentially inaccurate or misleading statements. Some brands have erased ads marked with such notes.

Community Notes on Meta platforms will be enabled for organic material, which is posts that Meta has not paid to promote.

According to a communication from a Meta employee to ad buyers obtained by The Wall Street Journal, this includes sponsored posts by influencers that Meta has not been paid to boost, as well as organic posts on businesses’ own accounts.

Aspects of the program are still in change. When brand and influencer organic posts go live, they may not be subject to Community Notes, according to a person familiar with Meta.

Meta has informed advertisers that Community Notes will apply to organic posts rather than sponsored ads, but its official communications have not addressed unpromoted posts by businesses and influencers.

A Meta spokeswoman stated that the business will review and improve Community Notes as they roll out in the United States over the following few months. “Any assertions about how the product will work aside from what we’ve already officially communicated are pure speculation,” according to the spokesperson.

Meta is a key component of many companies’ marketing efforts. According to the company’s most recent earnings report, revenue reached a record $40.59 billion in the third quarter of 2024, up 19% from the same period the previous year. Ad sales accounted for 96% of the total revenue.

Organic sponsored posts—such as a content creator being paid to promote a product—have previously accounted for 25% to 50% of brand marketing campaigns on Meta’s platforms and TikTok, according to Ryan Stern, co-founder and CEO of influencer marketing agency Collectively. Creators rely on this type of content to supplement their branded-content profits, and companies use it to supplement the pieces they pay to promote, she explained.

According to Lia Haberman, a consultant who teaches social media marketing at the University of California, Los Angeles, Meta’s new system may encourage more marketers and creators to leave organic content entirely in order to minimize the danger of critical Community Notes.

Patrick, who contributed to this article, a writer from WSJ, “thinks we’re going to see the disappearance of sponsored content on creator pages,” Haberman said.

Confusion is the overriding attitude as marketers attempt to determine how their paid and organic messaging will be affected, according to Darren D’Altorio, vice president of social media at digital marketing firm promote.

“We’re all kind of waiting together on the timelines and the specifics,” D’Altorio disclosed.
