谷歌新应用“悲伤屏蔽”让你远离负面资讯

说到这里，你是否有所疑虑？你是否害怕这款应用将使人们无视真实世界里发生的事情？针对此问题，开发者表示：难道不去阅读那些可怕的消息，你就不知道现实世界的面貌吗？你只是想清静一会儿罢了，这没什么。

"At Sadblock we trust you already know the planet is struggling and that people all around the world are dying in terrible ways, and we won’t judge you for wanting to turn off the sad for a little while," the site adds. "Someone will bring it up at the water cooler tomorrow anyway."

该网站称：“我们相信，你就算不看那些资讯，也知道地球正处在水深火热中，世界各地的人们正以可怕的方式死去，如果你想暂时关掉悲伤频道，我们完全理解。反正第二天也会有人在饮水机旁提起这些资讯。”

Basically, Sadblock is intended to help people unwind and take a mental breather away from the constant influx of horrible information. It's not intended to help people ignore reality.

基本上，“悲伤屏蔽”意在帮助人们放松，从持续涌入的可怕信息中获得片刻喘息，而不是要帮助人们无视现实。

更何况，屏蔽掉这些让人不快的信息对人们的心理健康是有好处的。

Psychologist Dr. Graham Davey told Huffington Post that "[n]egative news can significantly change an individual’s mood — especially if there is a tendency in the news broadcasts to emphasize suffering and also the emotional components of the story. [...] Viewing negative news means that you’re likely to see your own personal worries as more threatening and severe, and when you do start worrying about them, you’re more likely to find your worry difficult to control and more distressing than it would normally be."
