what if those filters also watched for hate words?
I'd love to know what a "hate word" entails. Sounds like it would gratuitously bring down all negative opinions, including ones that aren't hurtful. Especially since you give the word "hate" itself as an example, which is ludicrous.
Again, I'm not saying it's a perfect solution. Perhaps a naive bayes classifier, with enough examples, could distinguish between negative opinions and hate speech. Maybe it couldn't -- it might be very similar to trying to create a sarcasm detector[1]. I'm hopeful to just get the ball rolling in terms of discussions -- even if I'm wrong, we are at least talking about ways to try to fix the problem.
