Steam introducing optional chat filters for profanity and slurs

Valve plan to add optional profanity filters to Steam Chat, and it’ll also be able to filter language in games which use Steam’s own chat system. If you want to block effing, jeffing, and slurs, you’ll be able to fiddle with a load of settings and filters to add and remove words and otherwise fine-tune your chat civility. If you don’t want to filter chat, no worries, just don’t turn it on. This system debuts today as a Steam Labs experiment so Valve can gather feedback and improve it, then they plan to launch it as a regular Steam feature “soon.”
