Abstract

The rapid expansion of user-generated content on digital platforms, particularly YouTube, has significantly transformed the way people communicate and share opinions online. However, this growth has also led to a substantial rise in toxic comments, including insults, threats, abusive language, obscenity, and identity-based hate speech. Such content not only harms individuals but also disrupts healthy online discussions and creates an unsafe digital environment for users. Traditionally, moderation of comments has relied heavily on manual efforts, where human moderators review and filter inappropriate content. While this approach can be effective to some extent, it is highly time-consuming, labor-intensive, and impractical for handling the massive volume of comments generated every second on large platforms. As a result, there is a growing need for an automated and intelligent system that can efficiently detect and filter toxic content in real time, ensuring a safer and more respectful online community. To address this challenge, machine learning techniques can be employed for automated text classification. In this approach, raw textual data from comments is first preprocessed through cleaning steps such as removing punctuation, stopwords, and irrelevant characters.
