Google's new product identifies whether a comment could be perceived as “toxic" to a discussion

With this excellent new tool, I’ll be able to have my computer pre-filter my trolling to make sure it’ll get past the mods! This is great!

Before, my complete assholery would often shine through the surface, allowing people to easily see through my tone and concern trolling. But with this amazing new technology, Google’s got my back! Never again will I start random racist and sexist rants in the middle of a long bad-faith diatribe meant to waste your time and elicit angry responses.

From now on, I’ll be able to sling vile invective at everyone I meet (well, everyone who isn’t the right sort that is) while veiled in the best machine-learning approved sophistry and fake-nice speak!

Thank you Google!
