It ’s something we ’ve all feel . The low , sinking rush in the metaphorical groin when you ’ve register some asshole ’s tweet or post , expounding on some previously unknown spoiler . But maybe , social media does n’t need to be such a minefield of likely desperation .
Well , it seems Google is working on it . A newGoogle letters patent , spotted byQuartz , details a newfangled organisation that would keep track of your progress on whatever shows , Quran , and movie you like and block situation post it thinks might contain spoilers . It does n’t totally obliterate the post but instead blur the cognitive content with a pop - up warning .
In this above exercise , Bob ’s soon - to - be - ex - champion Alex just tried to ruin some show with his irresponsible military post , but this friendly ( unlike Alex ) soda water - up discontinue the bad thing from happening . Of naturally , there are a lot of unanswered Qs . The biggest one being how Google plans to overlay this overhaul on societal networks it does n’t own because if it ’s only on Google+ I mean who really care .
Is it a belittled restriction on freedom of verbalism ? Sure . But I imprecate if one more person tries to talk to me about “ the craziest affair that happened on Game of Thrones last night , ” I ’m going to lose it . [ Quartz ]
