Twitter is adding its crowdsourced fact-checks to include images, after a fake image of an “explosion” near the Pentagon went viral on its platform.
Community Notes were first introduced to add context to potentially misleading content on Twitter. The feature adds user-generated “notes” that appear below tweets.
Following the image of an explosion near the Pentagon going viral, Twitter is now expanding Community Notes to allow contributors to add information specifically related to an image.

Twitter announced the news on the @CommunityNotes account, making a specific case of AI-generated images.
If you're a contributor with a Writing Impact of 10 or above, you’ll see a new option on some Tweets to mark your notes as “About the image”. This option can be selected when you believe the media is potentially misleading in itself, regardless of which Tweet it is featured in. pic.twitter.com/zMtXBspN5p

Twitter Community Notes users will be able to specify if they’re adding context to the tweet itself or to the image that’s featured in it. At the moment, the feature will be limited to single images but Twitter says it is working on expanding it to videos and posts with multiple images.
