meta插件描述

Meta is a web application that puts online news metadata back in the hs of the user.

In recent years, the siloing of content by algithms have led to concerns about the impact of news curation services on social fragmentation  dissemination of unfalsifiable news. On the individual level, the attention economy  sheer enmity of infmation makes it difficult f the average consumer to check their personal biases  exple new areas of interest. Specifically, personal data on news articles read are opaque to the user,  any kind of explation into ones own histy is a difficult project.

Meta wks as a news archival application with 2 components. Users use a browser extension to add news links to the database. Meta then processes the content of these articles using machine learning to search out qualitative metrics on the users news histy (e.g. frequency of news sites visited / topics most searched), displaying them in useful  digestable graphics. Using this infmation, the user may begin a reflective process to discover infmation gaps  onesidedness in their own readings.

Unlike news curation apps, no news is recommended to the user.
