Dear Internet Ladies, please report harassment as spam
- lauradhamilton 13y agoThis just gave me a startup idea. What about an API that webmasters can use to predict which users are likely to be offensive / harassing? Kind of like SiftScience or Akismet but for harassment. Probably tough to monetize that though. But maybe you could just sell the algorithm to Yahoo! Edit: It would use text searching on offensive words, and tag users based on OS, browser, cookie fingerprint, ip, device fingerprint.
- romanovcode 13y agoWhat about Internet Fellas? Every time I go to 4chan I get harassed all the time. :(
- joeframbach 13y agoHow would Twitter simultaneously protect legitimate users that are the targets of the newly crowned Spam Brigade? The /r/SRS of Twitter?
- Torgo 13y agoA better question for Sebastian is, are harassers more categorizable than feminists? He should consider that "Internet ladies" are not the only people who can abuse the report spam button.
- pjc50 13y agoEventually it would have to be reviewed by a human. Also, reports of spam from someone who hasn't actually sent you anything should be silently ignoreable by the system.
