I would speculate that someone like Goldblatt sanctimoniously placing himself in judgment of some group that he is not a part of would be crossing the line. As I said previously someone (eg Charles Murray) whose "research" purports to show the black race to be cognitively inferior to other races you might not find so interesting. You Tube is obviously too big to give a shit but if it did give a shit it should at least make it known what is objectionable and give the site the option of suppressing that portion itself.
No doubt automatic suppression of comments based on the net up/down vote will lead to the echo chamber effect. No doubt some site creators want it that way in which case the automatic suppression is all well and good. Otherwise comments that reach a specified net negative can be referred to the moderator. Most sites have a facility to report comments as inappropriate so that this would just be an alternate way to get the moderator's attention.
You can judge anyone you want for your own purposes. When you publish it for public consumption as authoritative what I would suggest is that no one embarks on such "research" without a preconceived opinion of the outcome, and invariably with the further intent of persecuting the particular group.

Are you suggesting one cannot reasonably judge a group to which they are not a party?

Interesting that some consider calling men men and women women a form of persecution.
