Extension Usage Instructions

                        Our vision is to increase transparency behind personalization algorithms, so that people can have more effective control of their experience.
We support Facebook™, and other platforms (check if out on https://tracking.exposed, our main website)

The goal is provide to the users, more awareness about the information to which they are exposed.
Our mission is to help researchers assess how current filtering mechanisms work and how personalization algorithms should be modified in order to minimize the dangerous social effects of which they are indirectly responsible and to maximize the values, both individual and social, that algorithms should incorporate.
