If you've missed an episode of your favorite show, you'll probably try to avoid Twitter the next day. But now, Google has a patent that could save you from living in fear of spoilers.
The "anti-spoiler" patent, which the U.S. awarded Google on Tuesday, suggests that Google plans to create a system to track your TV or movie viewing process, using social networks, and the system will hide information about shows or movies you haven't seen. That way, if a friend posts something about a Game of Thrones death, you won't be spoiled before watching the episode.
Quartz explains that Google's system would blur social media posts and create a pop-up warning message before displaying the potential spoiler. However, Google hasn't specified whether the system would be used with Facebook and Twitter, or with other social networks.
