Abstract
A method modifies a tag to be displayed during playback of a video distributed over a computer network. The method may be performed by a server computer on the computer network. The server computer may be part of or operate in conjunction with a social networking site. According to one example, the method compares content of the tag against a database of one or more keywords, such as, for example, profanity; detects at least one matching word in both the content of the tag and the one or more keywords; and performs a modification to data associated with the tag in response to detecting the at least one matching word. The modification may comprise removing a matching word from the content of the tag so that the tag is displayed in a modified form without the matching word during playback of the video.
