Coco Extension

COCO is a moderation tool that warns you when any link on your google search/news, or article in your twitter feed, or webpage contains factually incorrect/misinformation.

COCO does this by maintaining an index of urls that stores information about whether a url contains misinformation/factually incorrect information. The index is maintained at scale using crypto-economic incentives and with help of a moderation committee.

Download COCO to make sure that you what you read online is free of misinformation & is factually correct.
