Interesting project from Jigsaw (an Alphabet company) which uses tech to scaleable fight online abuse. It's currently in beta but they've worked with a few big partners like Wikipedia and NYT.
In the meantime, Scale might be a good solution for those that need human oversight over internet abuse. cc @lucy_guo
@rrhoover So cool that they are working on this with other companies, the more content they have to analyze the better. Definitely needs to be in the API topic.
@ninjinka I don't think the intent of the tech is stringent auto-moderation (at least right now). As it stands presently, the API seems a lot more suitable for things along the lines of assisting human moderators in quickly identifying potentially unsavory comments (for more focused and lower-effort moderation) as well as preemptively preventing toxic comments by increasing conscientiousness during composition. Maybe we'll see a really powerful auto-moderator once the model is polished enough.
@ninjinka Also, I think it gives you an opportunity to write something better. "Liberals are not stupid" may not appear toxic, but it actually is poor framing (and one that will automatically cause defensiveness).
You might write: "Liberals want ______" or "Liberals are aware that ___________" or "Liberals believe in _________"
I don't think we should think of comments in isolation as toxic or not, but also in their ability to prevent future toxic responses too.
