The Good Game Auto Blocker (often shortened to GGAutoBlocker) uses the underlying Block Together system, along with an associative algorithm that adds Twitter users to a shared block list on the basis of who they’re following. If a user follows more than one of a handful of twitter accounts associated with the Gamergate movement, including Breitbart columnist Milo Yiannopoulos and blogger Ethan Ralph (Harper, 2014a), they’re added to the list. This dragnet method is efficient at weeding out potentially harassing users but flawed as ‘following’ a Twitter user does not particularly indicate support for them or their views. To counteract this, Good Game Auto Blocker has an appeals process by which Twitter users can publicly appeal their ban and request to be added to a whitelist of accounts that the algorithm will not block (Harper, 2014b).
