  The internet didn't used to be this way.
  
  You open social media to decompress, to connect, to find something worth reading. Instead you get outrage farming engineered to keep you scrolling, financial scams designed to exploit your aspirations, harassment disguised as discourse, and an algorithm that learned — from a single moment of engagement — that you're a reliable audience for more of the same.
  
  The Great Filter gives you the internet back.

  HOW IT WORKS
  
  The Great Filter sits between you and your social media feed, evaluating each post before it reaches you using Claude AI. Posts that match your filter settings are quietly replaced with a transparent placeholder showing what was removed and why. You're always in control — every filtered post can be revealed with a single click.  Nothing is censored or permanently removed from your choice to view it.  Our hope is that your algorithms will slowly learn to bring you peace and help to free you from spirals of anxiety and depression that social media can sometimes unwittingly (or wittingly) promote.
  
  Choose how the internet treats you today:
  
  OPEN — Only the most explicit violence, targeted harassment, and obvious financial scams are removed. Everything else comes through.
  
  CURATED — Outrage farming, psychological manipulation, coordinated harassment, and financial scams are filtered out. Real news, opinions, and debate come through clearly.
  
  QUIET — Aggressive filtering for the days when you've chosen peace. Grief, conflict, anger, anxiety-inducing content, and all forms of manipulation are filtered.

  THE TRANSPARENCY REPORT
  
  Every session, The Great Filter builds an intelligence report showing what your algorithm tried to feed you — organized by category, ranked by frequency, with week-over-week movement. You'll see exactly what your corner of the internet looks like and how it changes over time.
  
  Your report is yours alone. It lives on your device. We never see it.

  PRIVACY BY DESIGN
  
  We built The Great Filter with a simple principle: the product should protect you, not study you.
  
  Post text is sent to our server for evaluation and immediately discarded. We never log what you read. We never store filter verdicts. We never build profiles of your browsing behavior. Your Transparency Report data lives exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to us.
  
  The only information we store: your email address, your subscription status, and a count of how many evaluations you've used this month.
  
  That's it.

  HOW IT WORKS
  The Great Filter is a mental health and content filter for social media. It sits between you and your feed, using Claude AI to evaluate each post before it reaches you. Posts matching your settings are quietly replaced with a transparent placeholder showing what was removed and why. Every filtered post can be revealed with a single click — nothing is permanently hidden from you.
  Over time, our hope is that your algorithms will slowly learn to bring you peace, and help free you from the anxiety and doomscrolling spirals that social media can promote.
  Choose how the internet treats you today:
  OPEN — Only explicit violence, targeted harassment, and obvious financial scams are removed. Everything else comes through.
  CURATED — Outrage farming, psychological manipulation, coordinated harassment, and financial scams are filtered. Real news, opinions, and debate come through clearly.
  QUIET — Aggressive filtering for the days when you need peace. Grief, conflict, anger, distressing content, and all manipulation filtered out.
