Reality Check – Adds an independent truth and sentiment layer to the web

Summary: Reality Check is a browser extension that overlays independent truth, sentiment, and accountability on social platforms and websites. It reveals real like/dislike ratios, enables commenting when disabled, shows fact-checks on posts, and allows users to rate websites, providing transparency beyond platform controls.

What it does

The extension works by adding an external layer of feedback on top of platforms like X, Instagram, YouTube, Threads, Truth Social, and Bluesky. It displays accurate engagement metrics, enables user comments regardless of platform restrictions, and integrates fact-checks directly on content.

Who it's for

It targets internet users seeking independent verification and transparent interaction on social media and websites where platform signals are controlled or manipulated.

Why it matters

Reality Check addresses the lack of user ownership over truth and context caused by platforms controlling likes, comments, and visibility, helping reduce misinformation and distorted engagement signals.
