A Toxicity Score is a numerical value that measures how negative, hostile, or offensive a piece of text is, such as an online comment or post. This score is generated using automated systems that analyze language for signs of insults, threats, hate speech, or other forms of harmful communication. Organizations and platforms use toxicity scores to help moderate content, promote healthier online discussions, and protect users from abusive or disruptive behavior. While helpful, these scores are not perfect and may sometimes misinterpret context or tone.
