## What it is
A simple Chrome extension that overlays the automated computer vision tags Facebook generates for images directly on your Facebook timeline. It aims to raise awareness about how much information is routinely extracted from users' photos by major internet companies.

## Use cases
- see what tags facebook assigns to my photos
- find out what facebook's ai detects in images
- demonstrate how image recognition extracts personal info
- show computer vision tags on facebook timeline
- raise awareness about automated photo labeling
- inspect alt tags facebook generates for accessibility

## When to choose
- you want to visually see the machine-generated tags on Facebook photos
- you're educating others about privacy implications of image recognition
- you want a quick, no-setup way to inspect Facebook's alt tags

## When to avoid
- you need image tagging on platforms other than Facebook
- you need a production privacy tool rather than a demo
- you want to control or block tagging rather than just view it
