-The web button can be added to the Chrome and Safari browsers
-When activated it scans websites for abusive comments and swear words
-The VQ-Hab tool replaces negative language with 'words of love'

A web button has been created that scans websites for abusive comments and replaces the negative words with more positive ones.

For example, angry words such as 'hate' are replaced with words including 'love' or 'kittens'.

The button is a plugin that can be downloaded on the Chrome or Safari browser and was inspired by the torrent of abuse directed to magazine GQ after they ran a series of One Direction covers....

Swear words, as well as words such as 'hate', 'stupid' and 'punch' are classed as negative.

Words such as 'rainbow', 'unicorn' candyfloss', 'hug' and so on are classed as positive words.

Examples at the link.

Uh, I hope this is a typo -

An online button has been designed by V Energy to replace abusive comments on websites with positive 'words of love'. It scans for swear words or negative language on Twitter, pictured, and YouTube and replaces them with words including cupcake and delicious puppies

The thought of what it would do most of the posts here just cracks me up.
