Dating app Tinder will detect abusive messages and ask the writer to stop and think before sending them, in an effort to tackle harassment.
The automated system will learn to detect “harmful language” from messages reported by users.
Tinder said the “Are you sure?” system had “reduced inappropriate language in messages sent” in trials by about 10%.
Instagram and Twitter already use similar systems to detect abusive comments and tweets.
