Politico Says Adios to Anonymous Commenters (Well, Sort of)

After wrestling for quite sometime with what its commenting system ought to be, Politico has settled on a DISQUS platform. No longer do readers have to sign into Facebook, which was the previous policy. The new system allows readers to reply to individual comments, vote on comments and link to social media. Readers may sign in using their Politico ID.

While a note to readers insists that commenters will no longer be able to remain anonymous, usernames include such “surnames” as…jtrue52“, “radio man“, “Cathy“, and “PinkLady74.”
