Harassment Comments Filtering on Social Media

Abstract

Harassment is aggressive behavior or intimidation. It is a form of discrimination that includes unwanted physical or verbal behavior to humiliate or offend someone. Humans tend to compete with others in a foul way due to several factors. Jealousy may lead to actions that harm other people; harassment is one such action. Harassment can be physical or verbal; in verbal, there comes another form where the harasser uses the platform and that is social media. With the ongoing advanced world, social media has embedded in our daily life. It has become a frequent rostrum for harassers where they comment on different posts to hurt others. Then comes the effect of harassment comments on social media over its users, though there are many bad effects some of them are quitting social media, quitting career when the victim is some celebrity. In the case of women and underage groups, it can have a bad impact during their learning phase of life. The tool that we are going to develop will make social media users get rid of those harass comments it will provide them harassment-free environment. We have made two features in our tool; one is for those who are over 18 years of age and they will have an option where they can see those harass comments, and those who are below 18 their comments will be filtered out automatically and they would not be able to see them until our extension tool Is attached to their browser. We hope that this project will be able to fulfil the solution to the problem that has been mentioned
