There’s nothing worse than planning to stream the season finale of
The Walking Dead only to find out over Twitter that (spoiler alert!) Glenn... nah, we wouldn’t do that to you.</p><p>
But Google is toying with technology that would make it so that we
couldn’t do that to you, at least on social media. The company just had a U.S. patent approved for a method to block spoilers from ambushing you on your social feeds.</p><p>
The basic idea is that you would let the spoiler-blocking service know about a particular TV show, book, or movie you’re interested in. Then you’d let the service know how far into the content you are, such as the last TV episode you watched or the last book chapter you finished. This data could also potentially be pulled from video sites like Amazon or Netflix.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2908154/this-google-patent-could-kill-tv-spoilers-on-social-media.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
