New news service Kialo
From [this review](https://www.clearerthinking.org/single-post/2018/01/30/A-new-service-called-Kialo-aims-to-foster-better-online-debates)
>"Widespread internet access has provided many dividends to users, but there's at least one glaring exception: online debates are famously toxic. Irrational, unproductive "flame wars" on social media and in article comment threads have become such common features of internet conversation lately that they border on cliché. (Many of us are intimately aware of this dynamic thanks to Facebook interactions with hostile family members during the 2016 election season.)
>This development has given rise to services that aim to restore sanity, reason, and clarity to online debate. One promising new service in this vein called [Kialo](https://www.kialo.com/) illustrates the positive potential of more structured forms of online conversation – and the challenges associated with engendering a rational discussion.
