Fight Toxicity with Perspective API

In an effort to combat toxicity on the internet, the Perspective API uses machine learning to attempt to determine the toxic intent of a comment. This repo uses that API to compare the toxic probability of the comment to a threshold in the application to deem if it would allowed or not.

Check out the demo to see it in action!
