Project Lutein by Taiwan AI Labs is an open research project aimed at helping users understand social media censorship behavior. The project utilizes a browser plug-in, available as a Chrome Extension, to notify users if any of their Facebook posts have been censored. By installing this plug-in, users can discover which of their public posts have been blocked or removed from social platforms. Additionally, users have the option to contribute their censored posts to a public dataset, which will be used for research on social media censorship by Taiwan AI Labs.

The main objective of Project Lutein is to collect censored public content and evaluate the neutrality of social media content censorship. The project starts with Facebook as a demonstration and welcomes the open-source community to extend the research to other social media platforms. By participating in this project, users allow Taiwan AI Labs to include their censored posts in the research.

For those interested in gaining insights into social media censorship and contributing to an open research project, the Social Media Censorship Research Tool is a valuable tool to install.
