Yes, I think, if you have used Twitter now called X.com, you sometimes notice that when somebody posts, like Elon Musk posts something, you sometimes see a note attached to that post saying, ‘what Elon says is not true’. Actually, it is something else. So, this is called Community Notes. This is a way for a citizen’s assembly, like a jury, to look at each other’s tweets and suggests context that may be missing from that tweet. And in this contribution to the contextual commons, this epistemic commons, people’s ideas float to the top if they can get acceptance, resonance by people of very different polarized ideologies.
