Social Media Censorship Research Tool

This project uses a browser plug-in to alert users to any Facebook posts of theirs that may have been censored.

Project Lutein Taiwan AI Labs invites social media users to participate in its project. It is difficult for individuals to grasp the full picture of social media censorship. They may not be aware that their speech is being censored or deprioritized by algorithms. This project uses a browser plug-in to alert users to any Facebook posts of theirs that may have been censored. The goal is to help the general public understand the platform’s censorship behavior, to collect censored public content to public dataset, and to evaluate the neutrality of social media content censorship. This project is an open research project beginning with Facebook, and invites the open source community to migrate to any other social media platforms. https://github.com/ailabstw/social-media-censorship-research-tool By installing this Chrome Extension plugin, you can: 1.
