You are correct that Community Notes doesn't work if things are controversial, which is why I called it a "lame mitigation" against misinformation.

My point is that non-controversial is not strongly correlated with the truth. So if you want to avoid the truth in a Community Note, like China's treatment of Ugyhurs, you just need to make it controversial so that it is automatically removed by the algorithm.

True statements may not necessarily be non-controversial, but that doesn't mean there aren't less-controversial ways to state the truth.

For example, I think the fact that the Xinjiang United Front published http://web.archive.org/web/20201115143615/http://www.xjtzb.g... and kept it online for three years is less controversial to establish than whether a genocide necessarily involves mass murder, and serves just as well to contextualize the original tweet.
