To make the internet safer for everyone, building privacy and anti-harassment tools to increase user control, protection, and safety.
The evolution of online 'trolling' from a minor annoyance to a pressing concern has transformed the digital landscape. In today's social media sphere, online harassment carries substantial and often devastating consequences for users.
Block Party initially made its mark as an anti-harassment tool within the Twitter ecosystem. Nevertheless, due to recent changes in Twitter's API policies, the company has chosen to embark on an indefinite hiatus from the platform. However, this is far from the end for Block Party, as the company now shifts its focus towards introducing a browser extension known as Privacy Policy, designed to assist Twitter users. This extension serves as a protective shield, shielding Twitter users from harassers and scammers lurking on the site.
While platforms like Twitter offer basic harm-reduction tools such as blocking and reporting features, Block Party has discerned that addressing harassment at scale through manual interventions is an impractical endeavor. By furnishing automated tools designed to identify and eradicate online harassment before it reaches the user's view, Block Party seeks to eliminate the stress often associated with using Twitter, safeguarding user reputations, and facilitating the creation and dissemination of viral content without the fear of negative repercussions.
