Abstract
Community Notes is a feature on Twitter where contributors can add context such as fact-checks under a post. The objective of this bachelor's thesis is to explore Community Notes data and its content. For this, the notes are separated into topics using a topic model and then analyzed using three methods, political party-based analysis, which includes a frequency graph and keyphrase analysis, and temporal analysis. To summarize, the findings suggest that most of the notes are about Donald Trump's and Joe Biden's rivalry due to the ongoing 2024 US presidential elections where both of the politicians are presidential candidates.
