Abouit 2.0: “Is It Good For Me? Is It Fair To Me?” — The Open Evidence & App Fairness Engine

Every consumer scanner and app store rating was built for the seller’s convenience: barcode lock-in, single scary scores without exposure context, and hidden dark patterns. Abouit 2.0 (abouit.online) is our independent counter-power engine across 14 languages—auditing both what touches your body (40 chemical Substance Ledgers, 46,606 ingredients, 97,271 peer-reviewed studies) and what touches your mind (42 manipulative digital tactics across 21 major apps, starting with Dossier #000 on Yokaizen itself).

The 7 Independence Rules: Abouit accepts €0 from consumer-goods manufacturers, food/cosmetic brands, or evaluated tech platforms. Every claim is backed by primary regulatory records (EU CLP, REACH, SCCS, EFSA, US CDC NHANES, SEC Form 10-K, EU DSA, εxodus Privacy) and signed by a 3-model unanimous AI consensus jury.

1. “Is It Good For Me?” (abouit.online) — Zero-Barcode Chemical, Food, Cosmetic & Material Intelligence

Point your camera at any ingredient list, plastic recycling stamp (#1–#7), pan coating, cleaning spray, receipt paper, or clothing tag in 14 languages (EN, ES, CA, FR, DE, IT, PT, JA, KO, ZH, TH, VI, ID, HI)—no barcode required:

The Context Lens (Dose + Route + Who)A substance in a wash-off hand soap is not the same priority as the same substance in a baby’s leave-on lip balm or a microwaved fatty-food container. Abouit weights priority (Negligible → Low → Moderate → High → Highest) across 6 exposure routes (skin leave-on, skin rinse-off, oral/lip, inhalation spray, food ingestion, and packaging leach) and user profile (adult, child, baby, pregnant—stored 100% on device).
46,606 Ingredient Cards & 152,888 Lookup NamesCompiled into 256 instant lazy-loaded shards from EU CosIng (33,641 records), Open Beauty Facts (22,286 products), Open Food Facts, EU CLP Annex VI harmonized classifications, REACH SVHC Candidate List & Annex XIV, POPs, and UK OPSS frame formulations.
97,271 Studies Split by Who Paid (Europe PMC Funder Split)For every substance ledger, Abouit queries Europe PMC and separates independent academic/public-health studies from industry-funded papers so you can see when corporate sponsorship skews the literature.
“Free-Of” Regrettable Substitution DetectorWhen a receipt or bottle brags “BPA-Free” or “Paraben-Free,” Abouit flags the common regrettable replacements (such as BPS/BPF in thermal paper or MIT/isothiazolinones in cosmetics) and compares their hazard profiles side by side.
US CDC NHANES Human Biomonitoring (/api/v2/biomonitoring)Shows real population blood and urine percentiles (50th, 95th) from US CDC NHANES cohorts so you know whether a chemical is already measurable inside 90%+ of human bodies.
Regulatory Lag Clock (/api/v2/lagclock) & Cross-Country Recipe Diff (/api/v2/recipes)Measures the exact years between the first peer-reviewed warning and regulatory restriction across EU, US FDA, Japan MHLW, and ASEAN—and exposes “Same Brand Name, Different Recipe” when a product uses safer ingredients in Europe than in the US or LATAM.
Cosmetics CO2e Range (Validated LCA Sampler) & Open Evidence APIComputes rigorous cradle-to-gate carbon ranges using hit-and-run linear programming over UK OPSS frame formulations and ADEME Agribalyse/Base Carbone (validated against ZHAW 2021 LCA), and exposes all data openly at /api/v2/live under CC BY-SA 4.0.

2. All 40 Forensic Substance Ledgers (https://abouit.online/s/<id>)

Every Substance Ledger is an open, citation-locked dossier covering where it hides, what regulators classify, independent vs. industry paper counts, biomonitoring levels, and practical lower-exposure switches:

3. “Is It Fair To Me?” (abouit.online/fair) — The App Fairness Lens, 42 Tactics & 3-Model Jury

Most apps are free because your attention, nervous system, and behavioral predictability are the product. Abouit’s App Fairness Lens audits digital platforms with courtroom-grade rigor:

12 Families & 42 Manipulative Tactics (taxonomy/tactics.yaml)Catalogues the full mechanics of digital extraction across Retention Loops (LOOP-01 Streaks, LOOP-02 Variable Rewards, LOOP-03 Loot Boxes, LOOP-04 Infinite Autoplay, LOOP-05 Night Interrupts), Dark Patterns, Social Comparison, Monetization Traps, and AI Companion Dependency (AIC-01..03).
8 Peer-Reviewed Tactic Ledgers + 24 Verbatim Official QuotesSynthesizes 4,100+ MEDLINE and OpenAlex papers alongside 24 verbatim quotes from the European Parliament, European Commission (DSA Art. 25 & 28, AI Act Art. 5(1)(b)), EDPB, UK DCMS, Belgian Gaming Commission, Italian Garante Privacy, and WHO/Europe HBSC.
3-Model Unanimous Consensus Jury + Ed25519 Signed ProofsNo claim publishes to an Abouit dossier unless three independent frontier models (Claude Haiku 5.5, Gemini Flash 3.8, GPT Sol 6.1) unanimously verify the primary citation and an AI Legal Reviewer clears defamation/fair-comment gates. Every pass is cryptographically signed with Ed25519 (/.well-known/abouit-gate-key.pem) and appended to a daily hash-chained Merkle Transparency Log (/transparency).
THE STORY (5-Second Visual Slides & 9:16 Video with Lyria Audio)Turns dense regulatory filings into a 6-slide visual story and downloadable 9:16 MP4 video (/fair/<slug>/story.mp4) scored with 5 adaptive Lyria music stems, plus Story of the Day (/fair/today) and Compare Our Phones (/fair/check).
THE RECEIPT (ME / MY MIND / MY WORLD / INSIDE THE APP)Prints an itemized cream-paper receipt (/fair/<slug>/receipt.png) showing: (1) Follow the Money (verbatim SEC Form 10-K ARPU/ARPP & founder voting control—e.g. Meta $57.03/user/yr), (2) Inside the App (εxodus Privacy static APK analysis of permissions & tracker SDKs—e.g. Instagram 67 permissions, Duolingo 31 tracker SDKs), and (3) Consequences (17 official enforcement actions & clinical studies).
Ask the Ledger (/ledger & /ledger/mcp)A citation-locked research interface and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that answers questions strictly from verified ledger quotes—refusing to speculate when evidence is absent.

6. Frequently Asked Questions About Abouit 2.0

What is Abouit 2.0 (abouit.online) and how does it relate to Yokaizen?

Abouit 2.0 is the public-interest counter-power platform created by the Yokaizen team. While Yokaizen builds ethical interactive anime and AI companions with brakes, Abouit 2.0 gives anyone free, citation-locked tools to audit physical products ("Is it good for me?") and digital apps ("Is it fair to me?").

How is Abouit different from Yuka or barcode ingredient scanners?

Barcode scanners fail on unbarcoded items, local market goods, cookware, plastics, and textiles, and often assign a single static score without knowing how you use the product. Abouit reads any label or material in 14 languages without a barcode, applies the Context Lens (exposure route, frequency, heat, and user vulnerability), shows independent vs. industry study counts across 97,271 papers, and detects regrettable "BPA-free" substitutions.

Does The Mirror (/mirror) upload my personal GDPR data export to a server?

Never. The Mirror runs entirely inside a browser Web Worker on your device with network requests blocked by Content-Security-Policy and verified by automated zero-network tests (nonet.test.ts). Your data export never leaves your device.

Why is Yokaizen listed as Dossier #000 on Abouit Fair?

Under Rule 5 of the Abouit Independence Charter, we audit Yokaizen first using the exact same 42-tactic taxonomy and 3-model consensus jury applied to TikTok, Instagram, Character.AI, and Replika.
