Steve Caldwell (ID: 000000d648be2f94) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/20/2018 I use this a way to flag news stories that should be read with a critical eye.

Guillaume B (ID: 00000099ed8ad3da) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/17/2017 I'm researching/analyzing Russian propaganda for my masters, this happens to be very useful and pretty spot on. However, because I often have to read those websites, the YYYs get a little bit annoying. I wish there was a way to temporarily desactivate it, or have the option to highlight insted. Also, the add-on doesn't make the distinction between a link to, say, http://endingthefed.com/ and the other link http://whois.domaintools.com/endingthefed.com All in all, this is promising.

Namma Apsu (ID: 0000003bdeaa840a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/01/2017 Reminds me of what the Scientologists did to their followers back when they were having them put up "personal websites". They sent them software and told them it would safeguard their online experience. Except, it didn't let them see anything. Censorship - OF ANY KIND - is bad. If PropOrNot really wanted to be useful instead of controlling they would have offered free classes on how to spot opinions from news. Guess the money and prestige is all they think about, eh? Now to go delete this terrible thing they made.
