Detect Toxic Language in Twilio Chat with Tensorflow.js

Sentiment analysis is snake oil.

But being snake oil doesn't stop people from trying to sell it. If these sort of systems get widely adopted, or people attempt to adopt them, the days when fighting against ReCaptcha challenges will look quaint. You'll have guess why the black box says what you wrote is naughty.

The fact they're still plugging away at this is just an indication of how deathly afraid they are of actual criticism. They can't handle the ability of the average person not being a compliant consumer only able to express themselves in cat pictures and sponsored posts. With the rise of authoritarian regimes, this sort of technology will try to be applied to mass severance programs and detect "hostile elements" without any due process.
