Facebook bullying alert system developed by concerned father

A father in the UK has developed a bullying alert system for Facebook, which scans text and flags up abusive behaviour. NHS consultant Paddy Clarke’s software “Know Diss” scans Facebook walls and messages for words and phrases including ‘gay’ and ‘fat’ and alerts parents when they’re used. Clarke who has four children came up with the idea after reading a series of stories on cyber-bullying.
