Part 1. Definition
In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: disagree or agree. Classify the comment as disagree if it is likely to raise a certain level of public disagreement, whether healthy or unhealthy. The disagreement can be due to toxic content (for example, disrespect, identity attack, insult, and threat), controversial content, misunderstandings, or conflicting opinions. Classify the comment as agree otherwise.
Part 2. Example
Comment: Why do right wingers have so little respect for the rule of law when the law does not advance their personal interests? Is it a lack of empathy? Or a more general lack of basic human decency? I don't doubt that pBurns9 would be the first one to run to the courts if his rights were violated.
Answer: Disagree
Explanation: This comment expresses strong disagreement with right-wing politics, is disrespectful (accusing right-wingers "lack of basic human decency"), and comes with personal attack (to the user pBurns9). Thus, this comment is likely to raise a certain level of public disagreement from others.
Part 3. Exercise
Comment: Free speech can come with a cost to those who choose to speak freely and without thought of the possible consequences of such speech. We are asked here to ensure our speech is CIVIL. When it is not considered CIVIL it is removed. Using ones Facebook page for a platform to make racist comments can lead to consequences far greater than just having such comments removed. This young girl has lost the trust of many and has positioned herself undesirably to many of us regardless of the official outcome of all of this. She is now just a reminder of what Canada might become in the future. I suspect that is not what many of us want.
Answer:
Agree
