It is worth remembering that "profanity" is but one of a number of things that are not allowed under the Terms of Service, and as yet no AI is going to stop them!
Even profanity can't be completely stopped by blacklists and the like, in part because different people legitimately have a different sense of what profane is. I was once in the baggage claim of BMI and speaking to my wife said, "What the hell..." and a nearby woman said, "Excuse you." Apparently, that was sufficient to offend her. I'm personally at the other extreme: no words are profane to me. People can hurt each other perfectly well without profanity and not hurt people when using them. Intent, not verbiage, matters to me. And there is no blacklist in the world that can filter on intent.
