FISKKIT
Fiskkit is an online commenting platform that improves the discussion of online articles by allowing users to tag, or call out, incorrect facts, bad reasoning or uncivil behavior. It is a place where people can comment on news in depth, and share their opinions through social media. When multiple people have "fisked" the same article, the system produces a page which highlights the flaws in the text, as determined by a statistical test of significance of the (human-input) tags. It has been desc... ribed as "super comments that produces a Super Snopes page," algorithmically in real time, as content is published and read around the Internet. By allowing users to fisk each other's comments, they create a granular, peer-reviewed discussion of the topic. This allows them to build in a Troll Filter and Profanity Filter, which will enable readers to weed out comments they don't want to see, while preserving Fiskkit's "No Censorship" principle.
