Kam Fan Young Creative Competition – Anti-Cyber bullying
We collaborate with Facebook and Whatsapp, the top two social media platforms for cyber-bullying. For every negative word we detect, we will hold posts for 5 seconds. The more negative words they type, the longer time they have to wait. And a message will pop up above the text box: “Rethink for a second, Save a victim! Stop cyber-bullying!”
We create a few seconds to stop impulsive acts and make a difference.

Many teenagers immediately regret their actions after posting negative statements online. Neuroscientists at Columbia University Medical Center have discovered that postponing an action by seconds enables the brain to make a better decision.
