Birdwatch Note

2025-07-16 18:20:50 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

NN. To the one that said the correction is not important, painting a disk and a ball would make a huge difference, which people might be misled by the post. It is literally a factual error, and CN should be used for that very reason. It is not "abusing community notes". https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/basketball-worlds-blackest-substance/
