Social media platforms, which have entered our lives with the widespread use of the Internet, are one of the indispensable tools for people from different parts of the world to communicate with each other.
However, there is an important problem in social media that has not been fully resolved: whether you know it or not, people who reach your profile in the virtual world can try to interact with you via text / call even if you don’t want to, and this turns into harassment after a while. Twitter has made an important move to prevent this problem.
Twitter will prevent harassment with third-party applications
Twitter has come to the rescue of those who find features such as blocking and muting insufficient. From now on, the company will offer users third-party apps that allow them to more rigidly block an account of their choice.
For example, when you connect the Block Party application to your account, you will be able to automatically block the people who are most likely to bother you with posts defined as unwanted or abusive. The best part of this application is that the user can adjust the filtering level as they wish.
The Bodyguard application, which comes to the fore with the slogan of “Smart moderation”, is used to prevent insults, racism, threats, harassment, misogyny, etc. in English, Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese. It moderates and analyzes the content comments in real time and automatically deletes them when you make the relevant adjustments.
Developed to prevent digital harassment, the Moderate application allows you to control your Twitter homepage by using artificial intelligence tools. With these tools, you can sort the content you specify, block the ones you don’t like, mute them, and find out whether the accounts that message you are bots or not.
Twitter is currently recommending these three apps to users as an alternative solution when they are being harassed. New applications with different features will be coming soon. How do you evaluate this decision of Twitter? You can share your views in the comments or on the SDN Forum.
