Notably Zuckerberg did not cite any data for his assertions that community notes are effective.





A way to quantify this doesn't immediately come to my mind. Maybe reasonable metrics would be:

1. What % misleading/false posts are flagged

2. What % of those flagged are given meaningful context/corrections that are accurate.

It seems there's circular logic of first determining truth with 1, and then maybe something to do with a "trust"/quality poll with 2. I suspect a good measurement would be very similar to the actual community notes implementation, since both of those are the goal of the system [1].
