Discord has
purchased a company working on AI tools to detect harassment online. The company, Sentropy, monitors online networks for abuse and harassment, then offers users a way to block problematic people and filter out messages they don’t want to see. Its first consumer product, Sentropy Protect, was initially focused on
helping users clean up their Twitter feeds; it also made enterprise tools for companies to support moderation.
The company is now shutting down its independent tools and
joining Discord, where it plans to help the hugely popular chat app “expand and evolve its [trust and safety] capabilities.”
