HonestyMeter - AI powered bias detection

None (both sides presented in a largely neutral, informational way)
Caution! Due to inherent human biases, it may seem that reports on articles aligning with our views are crafted by opponents. Conversely, reports about articles that contradict our beliefs might seem to be authored by allies. However, such perceptions are likely to be incorrect. These impressions can be caused by the fact that in both scenarios, articles are subjected to critical evaluation. This report is the product of an AI model that is significantly less biased than human analyses and has been explicitly instructed to strictly maintain 100% neutrality.
Nevertheless, HonestyMeter is in the experimental stage and is continuously improving through user feedback. If the report seems inaccurate, we encourage you to submit feedback , helping us enhance the accuracy and reliability of HonestyMeter and contributing to media transparency.
Leaving out details that could affect how readers understand the implications of what is described.
The text explains that personal information may be used for “targeted advertising,” “selling,” or “sharing,” and that third parties may receive personal information, but it does not specify what categories of personal information are involved, which third parties receive it, or concrete examples of how it is used. It also notes that users may have rights to opt out from certain third parties but does not identify who those third parties are or what happens if they do not honor opt-out requests.
Specify categories of personal information that may be used (e.g., browsing history, device identifiers, approximate location) and give at least one concrete example.
Name or categorize the types of third parties that may receive personal information (e.g., advertising networks, analytics providers) and link to a current list of key partners.
Clarify what happens to data already shared or processed before a user opts out (e.g., whether it is deleted, retained, or only excluded from future targeting).
Add a brief, plain-language summary of user rights and link clearly to a more detailed explanation of those rights and how to exercise them.
Presenting a complex issue in a way that makes it seem simpler than it is, potentially downplaying important nuances.
The statement, “If you opt out, you may continue to see advertising, including ads that may be based on personal information processed before you opted out,” compresses a complex set of technical and legal behaviors into a single sentence without explaining how long prior data may continue to be used, whether it will be refreshed, or whether any additional limitations apply. Similarly, the description of using tools like the Global Privacy Control (GPC) as a simple way to communicate preferences may understate that not all sites or third parties fully honor such signals.
Clarify the duration and scope of continued use of previously collected data after opt-out (e.g., “We may continue to use data collected before your opt-out for up to X months for Y purposes, after which it will be deleted or de-identified.”).
Explain that while GPC and similar tools are honored by this property, not all third parties or external sites may recognize or comply with such signals, and users may need to take additional steps.
Add a short, plain-language paragraph that acknowledges the complexity of online advertising and tracking and directs users to a more detailed FAQ for those who want deeper understanding.
A title that does not accurately reflect the content that follows.
The title references a specific cricket match: “BAN Women vs NL Women, 28th Match, Super Six at Kathmandu, WT20 WC Qualifier, Feb 01 2026 - Live Cricket Score.” However, the body text is entirely about cookie usage, targeted advertising, and privacy choices, with no mention of the match, teams, or scores. This mismatch can mislead users who expect sports coverage but instead receive a privacy notice.
Ensure that the page or section containing this text has a heading that clearly indicates it is a privacy/cookie or consent notice (e.g., “Privacy & Cookie Preferences” or “Your Privacy Choices”).
If this text appears in an overlay or banner on a live-score page, visually and structurally separate the privacy notice from the match content so that the headline for the notice matches its content.
Avoid reusing the match title as the primary heading for sections that are purely about privacy or cookies; instead, keep the match title only for the actual live-score content.
- This is an EXPERIMENTAL DEMO version that is not intended to be used for any other purpose than to showcase the technology's potential. We are in the process of developing more sophisticated algorithms to significantly enhance the reliability and consistency of evaluations. Nevertheless, even in its current state, HonestyMeter frequently offers valuable insights that are challenging for humans to detect.
