“Ostrich” would be an appropriate name.

@core haha, well, we didn't think about this :)
O O
As a non-american, I was thinking of quitting Twitter before seeing this...
Aidarbek Suleimenov
@sandrojazzar wow! We are really, really happy that helped you, thank you for your feedback!
Sarim Haq
Haha, great product! Curious to know how you are using Artificial Intelligence...
Aidarbek Suleimenov
@sarim_haq well, that is not a secret! I can send you direct message in Twitter, if you want
Sarim Haq
@idarbek thanks. That would be great! I am always excited about new applications of A.I. My twitter handle - https://twitter.com/caspyapp

@sarim_haq followed you :)

Obvious question, but does the extension actually block the tweets or do the tweets still appear with text warning you that it is about the election?
Aidarbek Suleimenov
@anthony_stylianou it replaces the content of the tweet with warning message that this tweet contains information about election. As we use machine learning approach for this task, there are can be possible errors. That is why you can always view the content of the hidden tweet by just clicking on it.

Upvote just because of the creative name 😉

@_jacurtis thank you :D
Jordan Sztern
Haha. Amazing name!
Aidarbek Suleimenov
@jsztern thanks! :)

Hmmm... sort of the exact opposite of https://www.producthunt.com/tech... ! Looks like the polarization of the American electorate is well reflected in the polarization of the Product Hunt lineup!

@josh_levine hahaha fun project! But I suppose that there are already too much of Trump even without this product :D
Josh Levine
@idarbek There can *NEVER* be too much trump!

Now THIS is a Make Blank Great Again campaign I can get behind! #IgnoranceIsBliss @HandleByte
Sloane Ortel
Awesome idea -- why not put in a random fact instead of something about the election? Would play right into what made twitter great in the first place....
Aidarbek Suleimenov
@willortel thanks! I am afraid that it would cause a little misunderstanding. For example, I don't think that you would like to read how Hillary Clinton writes facts about dolphins :)
Sloane Ortel
@idarbek Haha -- oh yeah, could definitely see that popping up :) great work in any case!
Aidarbek Suleimenov
@willortel Thanks again :D
Saadoun Alerris
Finally thank you. I've got "trump" and "hillary" keywords blocked and still somehow get news about the US elections.

@sadon92 glad we helped you with this problem:)
