RepIndex

RepIndex - Reputation from People's Votes Reputation from people's votes. Community trust scores for people and brands — not a platform, not a model. The Chrome extension currently shows live scores on X.com profiles, so you can identify trusted accounts and avoid scams, spam, and suspicious profiles before you engage. 🎯 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. These are informational only and do not imply guilt or affiliation - they simply surface publicly available OSINT research. 📝 Personal & Community Notes - NEW! Keep context on accounts you care about-separate from votes and lists: • One note per X profile - Like voting, you can save a single note per account (update or delete anytime) • Private or public - Private notes are only visible to you; public notes appear on that account's RepIndex profile page for the community (like comments) • Quick access on X.com - Tap the notes icon on the RepIndex badge to add, edit, or remove your note without leaving the profile • My Notes dashboard - Open "My notes" from the extension popup to see every note you've written, with links back to each account on repindex.org • List member notes - When viewing accounts inside your lists, add a private note about why they're on that list (per list, per account) Use notes for research reminders, why you flagged someone, or sharing vetted context with the community-without changing their reputation score. 📊 Instant Reputation Badges See color-coded reputation badges directly on X.com profile pages: 🟢 Trusted (Green) - Highly rated by the community 🟡 Neutral (Yellow) - New or mixed ratings 🟠 Suspicious (Orange) - Warning signs detected 🔴 Community warning (Red) - Very low community trust score; check vote reasons before engaging 🗳️ Weighted Voting System RepIndex uses a sophisticated weighted voting system where trusted, verified, and experienced users have more influence: Vote with specific reasons (trustworthy, scam, spam, impersonation, etc.) Anonymous voting option - hide your vote direction while keeping your name visible Your vote weight increases as you build reputation and participate Admins and modera…
