Perspective API is available for developers.
There is one very interesting news that has remained poorly lit, especially in the Russian segment of the Internet. Google's Perspective API is now available for developers. What is this another crap you ask? In short, this is an API or service that allows you to evaluate the "toxicity" of comments on the network. Yes, this is not a joke, that's all. You can even go to and check your comment on this very “toxicity”. The project partners include such news agencies as The New York Times, The Guardian, The Economist, and the Wikipedia Internet Encyclopedia.
The project looks very interesting. We all know that everyone writes on the Internet. Here and trolling, and propaganda, a variety of appeals, fakes of any scale, threat, recruitment from all banned organizations and the like crap. This is quite a serious problem these days. Not everyone can recognize, evaluate and weigh all of the above. And for those who understand it is sometimes difficult to express and prove their point of view, different from that dictated by bots and trolls. According to the authors of the project, the Perspective API is designed to help with this.
This technology will definitely cause a lot of controversy, there is no doubt about it. Why? Yes, because it is difficult to clearly assess the impact of such a service and the reaction of people to it. How will you reckon with the opinion of such a service about your and others comments and posts? Someone will say that this is a terrible thing that can moderate opinions ... and one cannot say that he is completely wrong.
I believe in technology and I believe that technology, like technology in general, can be beneficial.
In general, the news is undoubtedly interesting and I wonder what the respected customers think about it.

PS Do not forget that the project is in an early experimental stage and is still available only for English.
