"NBC did not "gain access" to any special Twitter system they merely had one of the many thousands of community notes contributors show them that some misleading posts had yet to have any notes added. Any 6 month old account with a verified phone number can join"

"Needs more ratings • Not shown on X
The status algorithm is open source, automatic, and requires consensus for a note to achieve the status of "helpful" and display under a post. This can be difficult if a post is controversial."

The press is using Google, and Google is parroting their thinking in answer.
