We know there are many challenges involved in building an open, participatory system like Community Notes — from making it resistant to manipulation attempts, to ensuring it isn’t dominated by a simple majority or biased because of the distribution of contributors.

- First, all Twitter accounts must meet the [eligibility criteria](../contributing/signing-up.md) to become a Community Notes contributor. For example, having a unique, verified phone number.

Instead, Community Notes uses a bridging algorithm — for a note to be shown on a Tweet, it needs to be found helpful by people who have tended to [disagree in their past ratings](../contributing/diversity-of-perspectives.md).

### Avoiding Harassment

- First, as described above, all contributors get a new, auto-generated [display name (or alias)](../contributing/aliases.md) when they join Community Notes. These aliases are not publicly associated with contributors’ Twitter accounts, so everyone can write and rate notes privately. This inhibits public identification and harassment of contributors.
