## What is BotSight by Norton Labs?

As part of NortonLifeLock Inc., Norton Labs is leading the company’s future technology and guiding the consumer cybersecurity industry around the globe while delivering innovative prototypes with test-friendly features so adventurous users can learn and offer feedback.

BotSight by Norton Labs allows you to browse Twitter while annotating each handle with a bot-probability score. This works across most of Twitter's views including Timeline, Search, Profile, Follower, and clicking on an individual Tweet.

The scores are generated by our state-of-the-art classifier in real-time. They are then placed directly onto the page, so you can tell if you're interacting with a real person or a bot.

In addition to annotating the Tweeter, we also scan the contents of the Tweet. For instance, BotSight also annotates mentioned handles in the Tweet's body and the handles in replies.  Retweets, quoted tweets, followers, and those you follow are also annotated.

It's easiest to use the BotSight app to browse your Twitter feed with bot-score annotations.  But you can also ask BotSight to annotate tweets directly in your device's native browser or from the Twitter app by using the share menu within those apps and selecting the BotSight extension.

While we do our best to make sure BotSight is accurate, it is still in active development. People may be misclassified as bots or vice-versa.

Innovations from Norton Labs are for research, evaluation, and consumer feedback purposes. NortonLifeLock does not give any warranties as to the suitability or usability of these prototypes and recommends safeguarding data and reviewing all terms and conditions before use.

### 5/5 — I don’t have a twitter acct

*2024-03-07*

How about that??

### 1/5 — Never worked properly on iPhone

*2023-11-22*

It really never worked on my iPhone. And now it doesn’t work on chrome either. So I’m not sure what the point is to have this app anymore.

### 5/5 — GO NORTON GO APPLE GO PENTAGON

*2023-06-14*

Love security features made to keep our people safe. Can’t ever be secure enough versus the bad guys. Keep monitoring my stuff as long as possible. If I mess up it’s on me. I won’t. Appreciate the work Norton. You make www fresh for the mind to wander around upon! - Love Mr. N Martino

### 1/5 — What happened? Not working, there’s nothing!

*2023-05-01*

Help! Not working, keep getting demands from Twitter that I use the Twitter app instead of BotSight, which I prefer, they have blocked the account. help!

### 2/5 — Ok

*2023-03-06*

It’s down or something! I can’t get it to open up! Gives me an error

### 1/5 — 7:44

*2023-02-06, version 1.0.14*

I don’t even know how to use it ‼️

### 1/5 — Piece of crap

*2022-12-14, version 1.0.14*

Do not authorize renewal. Cancel immediately.

### 5/5 — Useful app to identify problematic trolls on Twitter.

*2022-11-28, version 1.0.14*

Though the inner workings of the App as to how it ranks a Twitter user as a Bot or as a Human is a black box, it is still useful as an alternative App for Twitter. Especially nowadays with Musk ruining Twitter, this App comes in handy to avoid interacting with problematic trolls. “Likely Bot”? Mute and move on.

### 5/5 — Good

*2022-11-28, version 1.0.14*

Good I love it

### 5/5 — Good

*2022-11-24, version 1.0.14*

Good application
