Isn't that the defining line between sci fi and fantasy? Sci fi needs to be plausible given our current understanding of reality. Fantasy is pure "What if..?"

So it's murder, but specifically a murder the perpetrator believes is justified because the victim was a woman. Think an incel who kills women as "revenge" against society or a man who kills a family member because she won't obey him.

From the NY Times article on this:
The new crime of femicide — which was adopted on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women — applies to murders where women are killed as an “act of hatred or discrimination,” or “an act of control or possession or domination.”

Depends. I'd like an option that lets me choose which regions' politics I'm interested in while also letting me ignore anything happening in sports in any part of the world.

"The system also monitors pedestrians, cyclists and emergency vehicles, and alters traffic-light timing as necessary." This is the part I'm most interested in. Driving up McGill at rush hour is slow, but that's because the lights are timed so it won't take 30 min for pedestrians get to Square Vic.

To the non-tech folks, you can even edit text directly in your browser and make it look like the person has said whatever you want. It's ridiculously easy.

Tone analysis would mostly come in if the vitriol is directed towards you, the poster, I think?
OP: "I hate Mondays"
Good response: "Yeah, fuck Mondays"
Good response: "Hah. I'm a waitress. Mondays are my Saturdays."
Filtered response: "I hate you, you [insert slur here]."

I think they're talking more about topic than tone. If I post an question like "Why does everyone hate Nestle?" and get a bunch of angry replies about Nestle, they're still relevant where as an Esty link from someone selling their own chocolate probably isn't angry, but also isn't relevant.
