Twitter Community Notes are a "really bad idea" and "just a fancy word for fact checking" according to a recent tweet by Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovksi on Saturday.

The new Twitter feature allows, according to the website, a crowdsourced series of users to "create a better informed world by empowering people on Twitter to collaboratively add context to potentially misleading Tweets." While the feature has gotten positive feedback from many users, Pavlovski pushed back against them, claiming they will inevitably do more harm than good.

"Community notes on Twitter is a really bad idea. It's a fancy word for fact checking, which will eventually be gamed, hijacked and/or cause more harm than good. I've seen this story too often and I won’t let it happen on Rumble," Pavlovski tweeted.

Pavlovski's comment itself received a Community Note regarding the process of a tweet receiving one.

"All Twitter accounts must meet the eligibility criteria. Second for a note to be shown on a Tweet, it needs to be found helpful by people who have tended to disagree in past ratings. Lastly, Notes tracks metrics that alert the team if suspicious activity is detected," the note read.

"Looks like my opinion above needs context by community notes," Pavlovski remarked on Sunday.

He later added, "In my case they added a Community Note to my opinion on Community Notes. Forceable intrusion of my speech under the disguise of adding ‘context’, is a form of censorship. My speech/opinion is being altered to defend Community Notes. This isn't free speech in any sense."

Pavlovski’s original tweet also received pushback from Twitter users who approved of the feature.

"Community Notes is one of the best things to happen on Twitter. It holds professional liars and gaslighters accountable," Gays Against Groomers founder Jaimee Michell wrote.

Author John Hawkins commented, "You may turn out to be right, but so far, so good. Out of all the Community Notes I've seen so far, there's only one I think was inaccurate and it was non-political. I'd say the same ‘fact check’ error rate is probably 1 out of 5 or 1 out of 6. At this point, I'd just say..."

"Yeah except it keeps on being accurate," attorney Matt Bilinsky tweeted.

Internet Accountability Project senior counsel Will Chamberlain argued, "Yeah I couldn’t disagree with this take more; Weak, partisan ‘fact-checks’ don’t get past the helpfulness filter; The ones that get through are dispassionate takedowns of false/misleading tweets."

"I'm no fan of fact-checking, but attempting to refute so-called "misinformation" is far better than removing or suppressing it," Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon remarked.

Attorney Damin Toell joked, "I’m being censored by Rumble. So much for the pro-free-speech right!" after being blocked by Pavlovski.

Pavlovski was later asked about the proper alternative beyond fact checkers or Community Notes. 

"I’m opposed to any arbiter/ministry of truth. I’m for the free flow of ideas, in public, for everyone to see and debate. The internet survived just fine for two decades without any ministry of truth," Pavlovski explained.

A Massachusetts man helped fuel one of the biggest digital dust-ups and social-media mysteries of recent years. 

And after he did — Chad Jones then experienced the "terrifying" power of Big Tech titans to silence the voices of ordinary Americans. 

He's now doubling down on his efforts to speak out against tyranny in the digital town square and beyond.

"I went MIA on social media for a while for sharing some pretty innocuous things," Jones, a venture investor working to bring alternative energy to impoverished nations around the world, told Fox News Digital in an interview. 

"The idea that they’re stifling voices as part of the normal course of business is terrifying."

The social-media soap opera began in 2022 when Jones, originally from California, posted on his personal Facebook page a cryptic letter allegedly written in December 2021 by an 85-year-old retired California judge, Keith M. Alber. 

The letter claimed that the current endangered state of American democracy was predicted with frightening accuracy in the 1950s. 

The judge's shocking claim spawned a frenzied reaction on social media. 

"My first year of college was 68 years ago," Alber wrote in a brief letter to The Epoch Times in December 2021. 

"One class I took was political science. A half-page of my textbook essentially outlined a few steps to overturn democracy." 

Alber’s letter enumerated those steps: "1) Divide the nation philosophically. 2) Foment racial strife. 3) Cause distrust of police authority. 4) Swarm the nation’s borders indiscriminately and unconstitutionally. 5) Engender the military strength to weaken it. 6) Overburden citizens with more unfair taxation. 7) Encourage civil rioting and discourage accountability for all crime. 8) Control all balloting. 9) Control all media."

The judge’s letter struck home with many readers, including Jones — who felt the textbook from decades ago predicted the crisis of democracy that the nation faces today.

It also spawned heated debate online — with members of each end of the American political spectrum claiming the other side was responsible for the fascist dystopia outlined by the judge.

Many people, however, doubted the authenticity of the letter, especially with the judge's failure to cite the name of the textbook.

Snopes.com weighed in, claiming last May that it talked to Alber and that the letter was authentic. Alber died later last year. 

But, the outlet wrote, "One of the more popular postings of the article came from a Facebook account named Chad Jones. As of mid-May 2022, that post had been shared more than 11,000 times."

Jones was unaware that his post had gone viral until Fox News Digital contacted him last week. 

Meta blocked him from his Facebook account soon after he posted the letter. He couldn’t get access to the post, even as it continued to ignite thousands of responses. 

"When I looked at the letter, it really struck me as a variation of Saul Alinsky's ‘Rules for Radicals,’" said Jones when asked what prompted him to share the letter. 

"The whole basis is to tear down our system and build something new and different, something not aligned with our traditional American concepts of individual freedom and personal liberty."

Thousands of people agreed with Jones; thousands more did not. 

It appeared to be a vigorous public debate. 

Yet Jones was silenced for sharing the letter that spawned the discourse and the entire post itself has disappeared since.

Jones reemerged on Facebook months later with an alternate account.

"It seems that silencing voices in the electronic town square falls right in line with what Alber wrote about," said Jones. 

He said the experience has only stiffened his resolve to speak out on social media and other platforms. 

He feels that "millions of Americans" learned the same lesson when they were silenced for daring to challenge Anthony Fauci, the federal government and media during the COVID-19 panic.

"The silent majority is no longer silent like they used to be," said Jones.

"They're no longer willing just to take their opinions silently to the voting booth. There are millions of us out there now fighting the effort to silence debate."

Jones uses Facebook only socially, he said. So he didn’t suffer any financial or business distress. But he lost plenty personally. 

"The one thing I do miss are the pictures, the memories, the reunion photos. I can’t get back any of it. That kind of sucks," he said.

"It's all a little scary because I have kids. What kind of world will they be inheriting if we don't fight back?"
