Abstract
A computer-implemented method for preventing social media harassment may include (i) intercepting a message sent by a sender to a user via a social media service, (ii) performing topic modeling on content of the message, where the topic modeling is customized based on at least one harassment topic relevant to the user, (iii) calculating, based at least in part on the topic modeling, a probability that the message is harassment targeted at the user, and (iv) blocking the message in response to determining that the probability that the message is harassment meets a threshold for harassment probability. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
