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.

Join the Movement:
Be part of a growing community dedicated to preserving the free exchange of information. With Truthy, your voice remains strong, clear, and unmuted across supported platforms.
