TikTok on Wednesday started testing "Footnotes" in the United States, a feature similar to "Community Notes" used by X and Meta, as the short-video platform awaits a deal that will secure its presence in the country.

TikTok has announced “Footnotes,” its own take on the community notes features that started on Twitter and have been spreading to other social networks. As elsewhere, it’s a crowd-sourced approach to moderation — TikTok says contributors will be able to “add relevant information to content on our platform.”
