Removing old detox tool
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Moin,

Just for reference, I requested to shutdown what looks like a machine learning experiment not maintained for several years - https://tools.wmflabs.org/detox/ The community has brought to my attention that it is producing flawed outputs that rightly raise ethical concerns. My team will engage with the original maintainers as referenced here

Thanks,
Jan
