Social media platform Threads, owned by Meta, will now automatically filter out potentially offensive words, phrases, or emoji posted by users on the app by default.
The safety feature known as the Hidden Words tool will be enabled by default in threads, and it will filter out potentially offensive information as well as irrelevant or boring stuff.
Users can also add additional terms, such “weight loss,” “assault,” or a pejorative term, that they would like to have filtered out. Go to “manage custom words and phrases” and enter any words or phrases you’re tired of seeing on Threads to add your own options.
