      "description": "Helix checks a username across about 12,000 sites and re-checks every account it finds against made-up usernames before reporting it, so a site that says yes to any name cannot produce a false result. Every site is tested once a day against a real account and a made-up name, with the results on a public status page. Results are graded for how likely the accounts belong to one person and can be sealed with a fingerprint so anyone can verify later that nothing was edited. It also shows people their own footprint with a delete link for each account, and watches a username over time. Runs on the user's own machine: no account, no telemetry. Built for investigators, journalists and security researchers, and for ordinary people checking what is public about them.",
