Font automatically blurs swearing and changes slurs to stop cyberbullying | The Independent
A software company from Finland has developed a new font which uses machine learning to rewrite offensive language into more inclusive forms.
TietoEVRY developed the Polite Type font as a way to highlight cyberbullying to children, pointing out harmful language and directing users to pick kinder words.
As users try to write offensive English words, the font will automatically replace them. Phrases such as "you are ugly" is replaced with "you are not traditionally beautiful" while expletives are blurred completely.
