In today’s harsh political climate, there's ** shortage of abuse and trolls — which is why it's great that Google released a new tool (http://mashable.com/2017/02/23/google-jigsaw-moderation-tool/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) to combat hateful speech on the internet.*
It's called Perspective (https://www.perspectiveapi.com/), and the New York Times and other publications will use the algorithm to comb through comments to search for harassment and insults.*

It rates messages on a scale from "very healthy" to "very toxic" so that they can be automatically ******* or sent to human moderators.*
We took the tool on a test drive with some of the far-right's most offensive comments (http://mashable.com/2016/11/14/steve-ban**n-quotes/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial).* Read more...
