As spotted by Jane Manchun Wong, notable software engineer with a knack for finding hidden features, Facebook appears to be planning on giving users the ability to censor their personal timelines. 

Are there certain words you'd rather not see in your Facebook comments? Perhaps some topics are just not worth the time you'd spend getting worked up over them. Maybe you just find that poop emoji too ugly for your page. In any case, a feature allowing users to prevent certain words, phrases, or emojis from ever reaching their eyes is in the works...at least in regard to the comments on personal timelines.
