Whale Finder: Removing Blue Whale related posts on Twitter
Whale Finder is a free Chrome add-on developed by Viraj Parimi that aims to protect users from the dangerous Blue Whale Challenge. This game, also known as the "suicide" game, encourages participants to engage in self-harming tasks over a span of 50 days. With the use of hashtags like "#i_am_whale" and "#curatorfindme," potential players express their willingness to participate, attracting the attention of curators who administer the tasks through social media.
Whale Finder conducts research to identify users who post about the deadly Blue Whale Challenge and subsequently removes or hides related posts from the Twitter feeds of susceptible users. By actively monitoring and filtering content, this add-on provides a layer of protection against the harmful influence of the Blue Whale Challenge. With its simple installation process and intuitive interface, Whale Finder offers users a valuable tool to safeguard themselves and their online communities.
