Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Community notes is a very useful feature and now it is extended on media context - would be nice to somehow be extended on user accounts as well. lots of twitter account created for a purpose of spread misleading information. Those accounts own several community notes on their tweets. The problem is that these accounts can create new tweets without indicating to readers that this account became controversial.

Describe the solution you'd like Would be nice to highlight for readers that this account has many community noted tweets.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The problem is, this is censorship. I think the feature adding if a account has been noted a significant amount of times would be helpful, but censoring these accounts would not be what twitter is aiming for.

I believe Twitter still has virality blacklists and such, Warrobot10. (“Trends Blacklist”, “Search Blacklist”, “Do Not Amplify”). (Perhaps the names and buckets have changed a bit, perhaps not.) Freedom of speech without freedom of reach, as Elon put it.
Twitter didn't go and unlock accounts that were locked for tweets that only violated the old content guidelines.

Thanks! Going to close for now to clean up old issues.
