How do you keep all the toxic and evil comments out?

How do you give website owners a way to opt out?



Not having a website,I guess. It's not their system to opt out of. Perhaps though some will try to get comments removed by disputing their accuracy (data protection act/gdpr in the UK), or the use of their URL for copyright reasons (I seem to recall this being an issue on one of the previous manifestations of this idea).


The likelihood for millions of users to use something like and comment on highly trafficked websites seems low.
