Polygraph: Analyzing and Warning Against Dishonest Articles
Polygraph is a free Chrome extension developed by Andrew Peter Prifer. Designed to combat clickbait, this add-on analyzes webpages and warns users about dishonest articles. With the rise of sensationalistic and deceitful headlines, Polygraph aims to provide users with a tool to identify possible inaccuracies or exaggerations in news articles.
As an experiment, Polygraph acknowledges its imperfections. However, it offers valuable insights by analyzing the title of an article and highlighting potential issues. By clicking on the extension, users can receive information about what may be wrong with the article they are reading. This helps users become more critical consumers of online content and encourages responsible journalism.
Polygraph is an open-source project, allowing users to contribute to its development and improvement. For those concerned about the credibility of online news, Polygraph offers a useful tool to analyze and identify potentially dishonest articles.
