Google’s plan to make talk less toxic

I find some implications of this chilling, while on the other hand the potential for humanity is possibly vast. The only thing I really like is the idea of a meter that gives me instant feedback of the "toxicity level" of a post I'm about to make. Unfortunately 1) I and many others would probably, on a "bad day", game this to increase this rating before posting, and 2) I and many others would probably, prior to having a "bad day", turn off comment filters and read the toxic comments anyway, thus exposing ourselves to even more toxic comments than before (because they'd been gamified for maximum toxicity).
