Cyberbullying, or harassment on social networking websites has become a growing concern. While the websites have mechanisms to report such content, a significant amount of indecency gets published and continues to intimidate and victimize the users.
NoBullying is a chrome extension that filters tweets suggestive of harassment in real time. It uses a SVM classifier to determine and hide the abusive content in a user's twitter feed.
Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned
