I wonder how do they deal with negative phrases: * not happy * far from being happy * I could use some happy moments * ... etc

  I wonder how they deal with ironic statements. It seems that they merely extract words out of the context.

    How do you deal with ironic statements, program? ;)

  As far as I can tell, they currently don't. “How will you deal with context?” We are currently developing a principled method to identify relevant phrases, for example to deal with the multitude of both positive and negative uses of profanity. We expect to be scoring phrases instead of words, where appropriate, in the near future." Also, they mention elsewhere that they use a bag of words classifier, so they can't really account for things like this easily.

  They don't. But consider that a good bit of those would be neutralized by phrases like "not sad" etc.
