A short article in Popular Science magazine highlights comment software designed by Jigsaw, a Google company. The software assesses comments by toxicity for more efficient moderation. The New York Times is using the software, which is called Perspective.
Popular Science, of course, cut off reader comments in 2013 in response to fears that reader comments could influence public perceptions about science.
I trolled around the Popular Science site (get it?) and it looks like still no comments in 2017.
