I copied the text from the following and pasted it into the engine via your web site:

https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/freedom-of-speech

I then deleted sections randomly (mostly from the tail) to see what effect this would have on the rating. The rankings seem to shift radically with what would seem like insignificant edits to a body of text. The following text ranks as 92% "hatefulness". Then, removing only the text "HomeMy Books Browse Community Sign" (which I would think are not 'hateful' in any way) the ranking of "hatefulness" drops to 39%.

I realize the technical challenges that must be involved so I'm not really surprised at the behavior. But I will say that I question the merits of attempting to detect "hate speech" in the first place. Assume that this tool were to eventually reach a state where it could detect "hate" with absolute precision. Then what? What purposes shall it be used for? I can not imagine a single purpose that I personally would endorse. The notion of subjectively ranking the free speech of any other individual for any purposes whatsoever is repugnant to me.
