Introducing Concern Tags

We are excited to announce our latest feature: Concern Tags.

This new functionality allows you to tailor your Block Party experience, ensuring you receive the most relevant and useful recommendations on your For You feed.

Why is it important to have the right recommendations? Because everyone cares about different things and faces unique online challenges. Some people need to maintain a visible online presence for their professional lives but are worried about their physical safety. Others prioritize keeping their family safe online. Depending on who you are, you’ll have different trade-offs you’re willing to make. By rating your concerns from “not at all” to “extremely”, we can curate a highly customized feed of suggested settings updates that make the most sense for you.

Here’s a closer look at the seven different tags you can set to customize your feed:

Account Security

Protect your accounts from unauthorized access or hacking with standard precautions like unique passwords and two-factor authentication. This tag focuses on safeguarding your digital identity and preventing breaches.

Account Separation

Maintain distinct digital identities and accounts for different purposes and audiences, such as separating your public and professional profiles from your personal ones. This helps you manage your online presence more effectively.

Child Safety

For parents and guardians, this tag addresses issues like screen time management, digital addiction, bullying, stranger danger, and exposure to inappropriate content, ensuring a safer online environment for children.

Data Misuse

This tag covers both targeted attacks, such as fraud, impersonation, and identity theft, and other abuses of your data, like spam and invasive advertising. By focusing on data misuse, you can better protect your personal information from exploitation.

Digital Wellness

Ensure your relationship with technology is a positive one by setting limits on screen time and avoiding content and interactions that negatively impact your mental health. This tag promotes a balanced and healthy digital lifestyle.

Online Abuse

Also known as harassment or online violence, this tag helps you take proactive steps to guard against and respond to online abuse. It encompasses behaviors like bullying, creepiness, attacks using deep fakes, dogpiling, and impersonation.

Physical Safety

For those concerned about their physical safety, this tag helps protect against threats like doxxing and stalking, particularly if domestic violence is a concern. It provides measures to safeguard your personal safety both online and offline.
