The internet can be an extremely toxic place for women or members of minority groups - but could there be a way to kill online trolls with kindness?
Kathryn speaks to Jacqueline Comer, who's been working on ways to combat some of the poison sprayed at women in the social media space.

Jacqueline explains how the bot works, and how it could have much wider application.
