#ChooseKind

Replace offensive comments and abusive language with expressions of kindness!

What if the internet could be a kinder place? Inspired by the movie WONDER, the #ChooseKind Chrome Extension will change the way you see the web by replacing abusive comments with positive and uplifting words. 

     

Using Chrome for desktop, the extension leverages powerful machine learning technology to spot abuse online — making it easier to focus on kindness as you scroll through social feeds and video comments on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
