The original version of Block Party was built on top of Twitter’s API to automate the process of blocking bad actors, trolls, harassers, and others.
However, Twitter’s API crackdown meant that Block Party’s ability to operate was immediately impacted.
That product, now on hiatus, has since been rebranded Block Party Classic.
Privacy Party will also act like middleware here, allowing users to interact with platforms and services to adjust their privacy settings with fewer clicks.
“They also present controls that you have including an additional level of control that automates finding and fixing privacy settings for you.”Chou did not say when Privacy Party would exit beta, but it’s free to use for the time being.

Yoel, who shared the move on LinkedIn, is now the company’s Vice President of Trust and Safety.
I swiped right on Match Group,” Roth said in his announcement post.
Roth is now taking his trust and safety expertise to Match’s family of dating apps, which includes Tinder, Match.com, Meetic, OkCupid, Hinge, Plenty of Fish, OurTime, and more.
