You're reading: Kyiv Post disables online comments section

Dear Kyiv Post readers,

The Kyiv Post is disabling its online comments section due to an increase in trolls, comments advocating violence and personal attacks. Other news organizations worldwide have taken similar steps for the same reasons. The Kyiv Post regrets having to take this action. The newspaper believes in a robust public debate, but the discussion must be constructive and intelligent. For the time being, the Kyiv Post will allow comments on its moderated Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/kyivpost/

The newspaper will consider hosting online comments again when circumstances allow.

Thank you from the Kyiv Post.
