    The Internet has transformed our lives, but has also introduced the challenge of _invisible information_ — vital knowledge we consistently miss out on. In today's world of exponentially growing information, algorithms prioritize content that maximizes consumption, and humans deal with this already priotized content by consistently consuming the tip of the information iceberg. This is the challenge we aim to tackle — by understanding, quantifying, and boosting invisible knowledge across the Internet.

    We are presently leading research along these themes:

This means users might think their posts are visible, but others can't see them, leading to a form of censorship that isn't immediately apparent. We intend to explore the impact of these practices on information visibility and to shed light on how they shape our digital interactions.")
