Lovefilter — hide the hate, keep the debate 🏳️‍🌈

A free, transparent browser extension that uses AI to hide hate and harassment in your feed — while keeping honest disagreement and criticism visible. It also gently lifts the supportive replies you'd otherwise scroll past. It reduces what you see; it isn't a safety service and doesn't replace reporting serious threats.

Hide the hate, keep the debate.

Why this is open source

A moderation tool asks you to trust it. So everything is auditable:

• No silent censorship — every hidden post shows why, with a one-click “Show anyway.”
• Fail-open — on any classifier or network error, comments are kept, never hidden.
• Reads the line, not your opinions — the classifier prompt (below) is tuned to keep factual disagreement, criticism and questions, and only hide hate, harassment, threats, dehumanization and incitement. You can read exactly how that line is drawn in app.py and change the strictness (Mild / Medium / Strict).
• No data stored — comment text is sent to the classifier for a verdict and not retained; no accounts, no tracking, no ads.

How it works

X / Twitter feed ──content.js──▶  vakt.aeris.no/api/klassifiser  ──▶  Gemini Flash
       ▲                                                                       │
       └──  blur · "Show anyway" · 💚 lift support  ◀── {action, category, severity, reason} ──┘

• extension/ — Manifest V3 content script for x.com / twitter.com. Scans visible posts, batches the text, blurs anything flagged as hate/harassment/threats, and gives supportive replies a quiet green accent (Wall of Love). Severe/criminal hits are marked report-worthy — it never auto-reports.
• app.py — Flask classification API. Uses Google Gemini Flash (fast, multilingual, reads any language; English reasons out). Per-worker in-memory cache; nothing persisted.
• facebook.py — experimental Facebook/Instagram Graph API moderation (work in progress).

Run the backend

export GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key_here   # or put GEMINI_API_KEY=... in a .env it reads
pip install flask
python3 app.py                        # serves the demo + /api/klassifiser

Load the extension (unpacked)

1. Edit extension/content.js if you want to point API at your own backend.
2. chrome://extensions → enable Developer mode → Load unpacked → pick extension/.

v0.2.0 is live on the Chrome Web Store (Wall of Love + severity tiers). This repo tracks the current release.

Status
