Community Notes and attempted assassinations

On the bright side, Community Notes was successful in labeling some of the most viral false posts regarding the shooting…

Cool, cool, cool!

…many of which were subsequently deleted by the post authors.

PSA - archive.today and web.archive.org are two very useful tools for preserving a web page in its current state, especially when you expect that the page’s contents may change or disappear altogether. That said, last I checked, X/Twitter has some kind of anti-bot mechanism that interferes with one or both of these archiving tools, so YMMV.
