INTernet POLicing- Safer Internet for everyone!
INTER-POL is a web extension to filter unsafe content using AI.
It can detect inappropriate or Not-Safe-For-Work content using state-of-the-art Computer Vision models and hide them from the user.
Phishing websites are detected automatically and they are added to a "blacklist". A popup alerts the user when they visit a phishing website.
The extension runs completely on the browser. No data is sent to servers for processing- ensuring privacy. Impact in future-policing
Internet users are growing everyday. Now, even children rely on the Internet for their schoolwork. With this rapid increase, there has also been an increase in malicious websites, inappropriate content on the Interweb.
Children using the Internet can stumble upon inappropriate content while they were browsing for their homework.
People receiving phishing emails think they are legit and are falling into scams everyday. They are not aware or they are naive when it comes to such stuff.
It is time we did something about it.
We could manually check the Internet for such content. But how can we ensure that they are not reached to the end user?
We cannot monitor their traffic, it needs to be done from their end.
INTER-POL's web extension offers the user real-time protection without compromising their data and privacy. If they find any malicious or inapropriate content where they should not, they have an option to report it to the police.
This can reduce the manual labour of the police force by "decentralising" the task of policing and make people more involved in the process.
