Extension summary

Truthy: Preserving Free Speech in the Digital Age

Truthy is a powerful browser extension designed to safeguard your freedom of expression on popular platforms like YouTube and Reddit and others. Our encoding extension makes sure your voice is heard, even in the face of potential censorship.

Key Features: • Auto-Encoding: Seamlessly encodes your comments as you type, providing an extra layer of protection for your thoughts and opinions. • Manual Encoding: Highlight any text and use the right-click menu to encode specific portions of your message. • Smart Decoding: Automatically decodes encoded messages from other Truthy users, allowing for clear communication within the community. • Cross-Platform Support: Currently works on YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram and many other social media platforms.

How It Works: When you post a comment, Truthy briefly processes your text, encoding it in a way that may appear unusual to non-users but remains perfectly readable to fellow Truthy users. This unique approach helps circumvent potential censorship while ensuring your intended message reaches its audience.

Our Mission: In an era where information flow can be restricted, Truthy stands as a beacon for free speech. We believe in the fundamental right to share ideas openly and access information without boundaries. By making it more challenging for restrictive entities to silence voices, Truthy empowers users to engage in meaningful dialogue and exchange ideas freely.

Amazing work, I had been trying different methods including just using Char map to modify the message, but from what I can tell any of my controversial comments are not posted publically, it shows in my activity, but when I go to the youtube page where it is, it's not visible. I suspect youtube actively censors any encoded or encrypted messages. x.x Keep up the good work though! Perhaps I am not understanding well enough.

Works as expected, my comment is not readable when the extension is off and when on I can read my original text. Pretty cool, I just hope it doesn't get taken down.
