News Evaluation Extension is a Chrome extension developed by New York University’s Center for Social Media and Politics (CSMaP). News Evaluation Extension allows participants to share data that contributes to better understanding of how our ever-shifting online environment impacts politics and democracy.
News Evaluation Extension collects browsing data from registered research participants who agree to be part of a study. When the plug-in is activated and registered, it automatically begins collecting URLs visited and HTML data from specific websites. Participants can uninstall this extension at any time through the extension interface, and the extension will uninstall automatically 2 hours after activation.
Data collected through the News Evaluation Extension is anonymized and used for academic purposes only. All collected data is securely stored on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and only accessible by CSMaP researchers.
