Google's "what is toxic" algorithm doesn't notice antisemitism

Tablet has an interesting article about the new Google Perspective API that is meant to notice what kinds of statements might be perceived as "toxic".

I ran a few unquestionably antisemitic statements through the algorithm to see what Google thought. These are some that came out less likely to be considered "toxic." Many came from Arab media.
