Pegabot
a tool that brings more transparency to the use of bots in Brazil.
On this platform, the user can check the activity of a social network account to know the probability of the profile being that of a bot. The higher the grade, the greater the chance of being a bot. For now, the platform is integrated with Twitter, but soon we will support other social media. The PegaBot is a project of the Institute for Technology and Society of Rio de Janeiro (Rio ITS) and the Institute Equity & Technology. The platform was launched in March 2018 and is in the testing phase.
