I did. I was almost immediately locked out since too many people disagreed with me. And no, it is not more sophisticated than that. Users have become very good at exploiting the system resulting in only clicks counting.

> To go live a CN needs agreement from people across the political spectrum.

This is false and is not the "security hatch" you think it is. Rather than arguing these points, just look at a few suggested CNs:

Tweet: "A white grooming gang caught abusing 30 girls. The youngest was 5. Why did this not receive as much attention?" CN: "It did get attention which is demonstrated from the screen grab attached to the post which is from the BBC website."

The CN is not correcting misinformation. It attempts to argue with the twitterer because, apparently, replying is not good enough. Another one:

Tweet: "Doctor admits Israeli pathologists harvested organs without consent" CN: "The full article says Israel admitted to harvesting organs from deceased IDF soldiers. Israel denies the claims of harvesting organs from Palestinians, which originated from a Swedish news outlet. No evidence exists that Israel harvested organs from Palestinians at this time."

Except the CN is wrong and Israel indeed harvested organs from slain Palestinians: https://www.jstor.org/stable/24590832 Another one:

Tweet: "Rennes are completing Brice Samba deal from RC Lennes as planned, it’s all set to be sealed." CN: "The team is called RC Lens, not Lennes."

The CN author is collecting points here. Correcting a misspelled name of a football team doesn't add much, but by doing so the author can farm karma for use on more impactful notes. Another:

Tweet: "Shut up, Elon Musk! We don‘t want your fascism in Europe!" CN: "Elons actions don‘t seem to support the claim of fascism according to the defining 14 Points of fascism of Umberto Eco:"

Again someone who prefers the CN feature over replying. Yet another, from the former president:

Tweet: "Four years ago, violent insurrectionists attacked the Capitol, threatened the lives of elected officials, and assaulted brave law enforcement officers." CN: "Neither Trump, or any of the January 6th defendants, were indicted, charged or convicted of "insurrection" as a result of the Jan. 6, 2021 riot. Calling the rioters "violent insurrectionists" does not accurately reflect any of the charges filed. "

Yeah, that just, uh, your opinion, man.

These examples are all from English Twitter, where the huge number of users balance the situation out somewhat. On Swedish Twitter, where a famous left-wing politician might collect 20 likes for a tweet if they are lucky (drawback of being only 10M people), the right-wing trolls utterly dominate. If one politicians complains about high electricity prices the trolls will be there with a CN about how "they destroyed nuclear power" (utterly false BS) or if it's about crime the CN will be about how "you let the immigrants in".

> Because it's algorithmic and anyone can write notes, it doesn't discriminate in favour of the rich and powerful.

Uhu. They said the same thing about Wikipedia, didn't they? In reality, fanatics with a lot of free time on their hand and those who can pay for meat puppets will decide what the truth is.
