It is our pleasure to announce that the International Free Press Privacy Settings have been updated. These updates have been internationally mandated and have been implemented across all WordPress websites running Disqus as the commenting engine.

WordPress Administrators and Disqus Moderators no longer have access to your personal private information. Both platforms have RESTRICTED the ability of Administrators and Moderators to view your IP Address and the email address associated with your account. This policy is effective IMMEDIATELY.
