National Internet Observatory (scam awareness)
Just wanted to let folks know about my experience with a somewhat widespread project from the "National Internet Observatory" that was launched a month ago, where for $20, users had to install a Chrome extension that would monitor their web activity.
I signed up, qualified, installed the extension, kept it running for 7 days, and heard nothing back after two weeks. Contacted the support email and radio silence. The extension no longer works (freezes on sign in), and they wiped the webpage that described approved projects https://nationalinternetobservatory.org/approved-projects.html.
This webpage used to have some information, saying that the project would be monitoring Google and Bing searches. I also completed a couple surveys from them that promised $2 per, and again got nothing. I'll update this thread if I ever get a response, but it's looking pretty grim at this point (about a month later).
