RepIndex - Community-Driven Reputation System for X.com (Twitter) Stay safe on X.com (Twitter) with RepIndex, the community-powered reputation tracker that helps you identify trusted accounts and avoid scams, spam, and suspicious profiles. Here's the section to add about combating regime misinformation: 🎯 OUR MISSION: FIGHTING COORDINATED DISINFORMATION IN IRAN RepIndex was created to combat organized disinformation campaigns, particularly from authoritarian regimes. In countries like Iran, where Twitter/X.com is blocked for ordinary citizens, government officials and regime-affiliated accounts use special unrestricted SIM cards (سیمکارت سفید) to bypass these blocks. These accounts flood the platform with propaganda, spread misinformation, and manipulate public opinion—while the people they govern cannot even access the platform to respond. Thousands of these coordinated accounts have been identified, operating with impunity to: Spread regime propaganda and talking points Harass dissidents and activists Spread disinformation about protests and human rights issues Impersonate independent voices while pushing government narratives Manipulate trending topics and discussions RepIndex empowers the global community to identify and flag these coordinated propaganda networks, giving users the tools to recognize state-sponsored misinformation and make informed decisions about which accounts to trust. This is bigger than just spam prevention—it's about preserving truth and protecting democratic discourse in the digital age. 🛡️ PROTECT YOURSELF FROM SCAMS X.com has become a hub for valuable connections, but it's also filled with scammers, impersonators, and fake accounts. RepIndex gives you instant visibility into any profile's reputation through community-driven ratings, helping you make informed decisions before engaging. ✨ KEY FEATURES 🔐 PRIVACY & TRANSPARENCY RepIndex respects your privacy. Here's exactly what we collect and why: ✅ Anonymous Usage Analytics - We collect basic, non-identifiable usage metrics (badge views, votes cast, popup opens) to improve the extension. NO personal information, browsing history, or profile data is collected. ✅ Self-Hosted Analytics - All analytics data is stored on our own servers. We do NOT use third-party tracking services like Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel. ✅ Minimal Permissions - We only request the minimum permissions needed: cookies (for X/Twitter authentication), storage (for caching ratings locally), and access to X.com (to display badges). ✅ Open & Transparent - View our complete privacy policy at repindex.org/privacy ✅ You Control Your Data - Delete your account anytime to remove all associated data. 📊 What We Collect: • Event types (badge viewed, vote cast, popup opened) • Extension version (for compatibility) • Timestamps (for usage patterns) 🚫 What We DON'T Collect: • Your browsing history • Usernames of profiles you view • Personal information • Device identifiers • Location data • Any data outside RepIndex 🎯 Why We Collect It: To understand how users engage with RepIndex, improve the extension, and determine the best time to ask for your feedback if you're enjoying it. That's it! 🛰️ OSINT Information Badges - NEW! RepIndex now displays verified OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) badges from trusted datasets: 🛰️ IR Network Badge - Accounts identified in Islamic Republic influence networks dataset (engagement patterns with IR state-affiliated media) 📱 White SIM Badge - Accounts listed in White Internet database (government-issued unrestricted SIM cards) 🔶 MEK Network Badge - Accounts exhibiting engagement patterns with MEK-related content These badges are displayed SEPARATELY from community ratings and clearly marked with: • Source attribution (goldenowlosint/Islamic-Republic-Influence-Networks) • License information (CC BY-NC 4.0) • Clear disclaimer that badges are based on OSINT data, NOT user ratings • ~10% error rate disclosure for transparency • Direct links to source repositories OSINT badges help you identify coordinated networks and state-affiliated accounts that bypass censorship to spread propaganda, giving you crucial context beyond just community ratings.

First time: Set your master password (one password for all encrypted lists) 2. Create unlimited private encrypted lists - all protected by your master password 3.

Recovery codes: Generate codes client-side to recover access if needed 6. Later, decrypt and make public whenever you want 7. Or share with trusted friends/colleagues (coming soon) Why This Matters: Most social media platforms store your data on their servers where admins can potentially access it. RepIndex is different - your private lists are encrypted client-side using Web Crypto API, meaning the encryption keys are derived from your password and never leave your device. We literally cannot read your private lists even if we wanted to. The master key architecture means you only need to remember one password for all your encrypted lists, while session storage provides convenience without compromising security. 🌍 Multi-Language Support Available in multiple languages including English and Farsi, with more coming soon. The interface automatically adapts to your preferred language. 📈 Personal Statistics Dashboard Track your contribution and influence in the community: Total votes submitted Number of accounts you've rated Your recent voting history Your current trust level (New/Regular/Trusted) Your reputation score (0-100) Your vote weight multiplier View your impact on community safety 🔐 Secure Authentication Login safely using Twitter OAuth - no password sharing, just quick and secure authentication through X.com itself. 🎯 Smart Profile Detection Automatically detects X.com profile pages and displays reputation information without any manual action required. ⚡ Lightning Fast & Lightweight Minimal impact on your browsing experience.

WEIGHTED VOTING SYSTEM RepIndex uses an advanced weighted voting algorithm to prevent manipulation and give more influence to trusted community members: 🎯 Vote Weights Based on Trust: • New users: 0.5× weight (prevents spam and bot manipulation) • Regular users (10+ votes): 1.0× weight • Trusted users (50+ votes, 70+ reputation): 1.5× weight • Verified users: 1.5× bonus multiplier • Admins: 2.5× weight to combat coordinated disinformation • Moderators: 2.0× weight 📊 How Scores are Calculated: Scores are calculated using weighted votes, not raw vote counts. A single vote from a trusted admin carries more weight than multiple votes from new accounts, making it extremely difficult for bot networks or coordinated campaigns to manipulate ratings. 🔒 Privacy Protection: • Recent voters are hidden until a profile receives some votes • Vote anonymously - your name remains visible but your vote direction (👍/👎) is hidden as 🔒 • This prevents vote retaliation while maintaining accountability 🏆 Rating Thresholds (based on weighted scores): • Trusted: ≥80% weighted positive votes + at least 5 total votes • Suspicious: ≤50% weighted positive votes + at least 3 total votes • Scam: ≤30% weighted positive votes + at least 5 total votes • Neutral: Default rating or doesn't meet thresholds yet 💪 Building Your Influence: • Cast 10 votes → Become Regular user (1.0× weight) • Cast 50+ votes + maintain 70+ reputation → Become Trusted (1.5× weight) • Vote accurately with community consensus to increase reputation (0-100 score) • Get manually verified by admins for 1.5× bonus multiplier Full transparency: Learn exactly how vote weights are calculated at repindex.org/rating-system PRIVACY & SECURITY Your privacy matters.
