Google patented anti-spoiler technology

Google intends to engage in the fight against spoilers, as evidenced by the application filed in the US Patent Office. It details how technology works to detect and neutralize spoilers related to cinema, television and publishing.

The essence of the software created by Google is as follows: if the system detects that some text, for example, a user's comment on a social network contains a spoiler, this fragment is hidden and accompanied by a pop-up warning. Other users will be able to refuse to view or, on the contrary, allow the display of this fragment.

It is not yet clear whether Google intends to integrate the proposed technology into the largest social networks, such as Facebook or Twitter, or will limit itself to its own Google+. It is also unknown if it will be used in search results.

Note that Google's initiative is in line with the spirit of the times, as more and more viewers in North America are turning away from cable TV services, preferring various options for viewing on the Web at a convenient time for the viewer. Naturally, in this case, the fight against possible spoilers is of particular importance.
