OK @mihamlakar that's gonna be a strike for you!

@jasonsawtelle lol 😂

@mihamlakar Certain keywords can be a bit of a giveaway. Not totally sold on this, but yeah I can imagine my life would better without having to read racist comments involving the N-word combined with multiple expletives for example.

@colinmcdermott even if these platforms were littered with comments using the N-word (which I don't think they are) I believe it would be better for us to be able to see them and realize that as a society we have a problem. Don't you think so? I find the idea of a bot owned by a private company censoring the world for me really dangerous.

@mihamlakar - Okay here is a test for you. Go to LiveLeak.com and spend more than 1 minute reading the comments on the videos. There are 20 racist comments for everyone from a reasonable person. Tell me the tool wouldn't be perfect for places like this, for people like me that want to converse with normal people not racists. Dangerous to who? Are good quality sun glasses dangerous? How about waterproof trousers?

@anna_0x I tend to agree with you. But it does have a "volume" setting to at least filter out complete garbage (clear hate speech, trolling, etc.)? I'm experimenting with it on the lowest filter setting to see what it catches. Consequently, I now check and read all the filtered comments to see what it removed 😅

@chadwhitaker the thing is, how does it determine which comments are actually complete garbage? How can we be sure it's not just really really rude truths being said, and not trolling? That'd be pretty hard to do.

@chadwhitaker @anna_0x or even how does it works with slang, quoting and paraphrasing? Language is highly dynamic (duh) and trolling with local slangs or idioms is hard to catch for humans even. If the algorithm (or whatever) relies on the human feedback to define what are unwanted comments (and it's likely it does) - that is a slippery slope. :) In any event - why not just include total comments black box. Isn't fake-instant gratification-bubble also harmful for young minds on the long run? :) (wondering why people even bother to read comments, barring on own content).

@aaronoleary yeah curious to know how this works.
