I'm not against moderation at all. But I feel really weird about it when it comes to politics. I was a moderator on a default subreddit for a year or two. I saw mods censor even relatively polite and thought out comments that had the "wrong" political message. In some cases nuking entire threads because they didn't like the ideas being discussed. This article gives solid examples of this tool filtering comments that happen to discuss Islam or terrorism. Likely the person who trained it had some kind of political bias that this tool is reinforcing. On the other side of the coin, the vast majority of comments that should be removed aren't targeted by this tool at all. E.g. inane joke comments by people who were adding nothing to the conversation. These aren't "toxic" or harmful, but they take over and crowd out actual discussion.
