No wonder a number of current events sites are closing their comments section much more often or are setting a “flagging system” in order for Clintoned paid trolls to get reported.
It's been an online media trend for some years now to rein in the opportunity to comment, because of the expense of servers for massive amounts of data, the horrible flame wars and filth that was going on when the Internet was newer, the annoying spam advertisements , the targeted trolling from Russia (they have entire buildings called "click farms" where low-wage trolls are tasked with trying to influence politics in other countries), and also our domestic political campaigns like the topic of this thread. It's difficult for sites to get competent moderators, as well, to screen out not just profanity and obscenity, but also jihad recruiting or interpersonal abuses.
You may have noticed that a lot of sites now make you sign in with some other identifying site, like a Facebook or Twitter name, with the presumption that they have extracted your real-life name and info. It's a wonder that there are any comment sites at all any more.
The NSA can find out who anyone is, anyway. But then the expense of the court order would be on the media who published any troublesome comments, libel, death threats, etc.
