The instant messaging company Discord is increasing the number of tools for content moderation and launched Automod, a tool for automatic content moderation that will allow the protection of communities and the creation of protected environments.

The company reported that AutoMod is a highly effective automatic keyword filter that makes it easy for “moderators to detect, block, or receive alerts for harmful messages or phrases.”

With this new tool, moderators who are not active have the ability to place users who post harmful things in an automatic “timeout”. The moderation team of a server will be able to determine the type of words or phrases that are harmful and configure custom keyword filters.

As expressed by the company: “Community moderation should be a hobby that you celebrate. Walking away to make time for yourself shouldn’t be racking you with guilt about what might be happening when you’re gone. Moderating your growing community should feel rewarding and satisfying, not add constant stress by dealing with bad actors or rogue members.”

New resources for Discord users

Additionally, the company is expanding its Premium membership program, with this program users will be able to set up paid subscriptions for their servers.

Moderators and admins have become a staple of online communities, which is why Discord is launching two new resources for these users, including the Discord Community Resources “educational hub.” The company indicated.

Said center will be a blog with articles by experienced community leaders that aims to “teach moderators and administrators how to build, engage and grow their servers.”

On the other hand, Discord will also launch a new “Community of administrators” aimed at moderators and administrators, which will be conducted by the company itself in order to help them chat and connect.

Google will automatically activate, as of November 9, for millions of users of their accounts the security function of two-step verification, which requires confirming the identity in the access through techniques such as SMS codes sent to the mobile.

In May, Google had already announced that it would extend two-factor authentication to all its users during this year 2021. This system, which could already be used by those who had configured it in their accounts, will be applied automatically.

Now, the company has begun to send notifications to the users of its accounts in which it informs them that the start date of the mandatory two-step verification is next November 9, as reported by Gizmochina.

This measure, which Google assured would be applied to all Google accounts configured correctly, adds an additional layer of security to access, and in addition to the username and password, it requires the use of one-time passwords sent by SMS to the phone or to another mail account.

Likewise, another technique contemplated for two-factor authentication is the use of security keys that can be physically connected to the device and that are already compatible with iOS and Android computers and mobiles.

Google had detailed in a previous statement that it planned to automatically roll out the two-step verification feature to an additional 150 million users of its accounts, as well as 2 million YouTube creators.
