Trigger Warning: Plugin for flagging possibly harmful language
Trigger Warning is a free plugin developed by Mary Phelan for Google Chrome. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically belongs to the Add-ons & Tools subcategory. The aim of this plugin is to address the consequences of the lack of censorship and moderation on social media platforms.
Based on extensive research conducted by the developer, Trigger Warning serves as an informational and advisory tool rather than a restrictive one. It highlights offensive text by displaying toast notifications specific to the type of language used. This serves as a reminder to users that the language they are using may be offensive and hurtful to others.
Trigger Warning is compatible with popular social media platforms such as Reddit, Tumblr, and Facebook. It is also available for download on Google Chrome and Firefox. For those interested in delving deeper into the research conducted by Mary Phelan, the plugin provides a link to the research sources.
