The Botson Chrome Extension Can Help You Determine If a Tweet is a Bot
The Botson Chrome extension can help you determine the likelihood of a tweet in your newsfeed to be a bot. It is designed to identify malicious bots as they are often known to send spam and malicious messages. Twitter has a lot of bots to help people increase their followers, gain some extra credibility, and generate revenue. This may also help people avoid falling for a scam or being fooled by a malicious user. Twitter users are becoming increasingly popular, which means that you may find yourself being followed by a lot of bots. The Chrome extension allows you to distinguish between a bot and a real user.
When a bot is detected, the tweet will be blurred out with some buttons for you to learn more about the tweet, or allow the tweet to remain in your newsfeed.
The Chrome extension scans and identifies tweets from people and bots, and provides a score to the tweet. You can then decide if it is a bot or not. You can also use the Chrome extension on the desktop version of Twitter, but you will have to authenticate read-only access to your Twitter account.
