The Huffington Post, which used to be one of the most interesting sites on the web and an arena for some pretty hot debates has suddenly become the Internets wimpiest hangouts. First they dropped the "comments" box for some dopey thing called. "Start a conversation" which was beyond boring. Now they have added this pathetic disclaimer to assure their readers they no longer can enjoy either anonymity nor freedom of speech. I personally have contributed almost 10,000 comments to HuffPost, and find this new rule completely offputting.
To promote more civil discussion and accountability in the Huffington Post community, beginning today, all of those who wish to make a comment will be asked to verify their HuffPost account. For further info and access to the verification process, click to continue.
