Why this module
A comment system that your DPO will also love.
A comment is personal data, that's the GDPR view. A comment is editorial input, that's the newsroom view. A comment is also a regulatory artefact under the DSA. The Logora Comments module is the only place where these three views agree. Reader accounts in your database. AI moderation trained on European press content. Every decision journalised, statement-of-reasons auto-generated, transparency report exportable.

In production
Used by Milenio.
Mexico's Grupo Milenio replaced Facebook Comments with Logora. In two years the comment section went from a leak to one of their biggest sources of new registrations.

Common questions
What publishers actually ask.
-
How long does it take to integrate?
About 1.5 days for the technical integration. ~2 hours on your tech team to wire the JS snippet and the SSO; the rest is moderation policy setup, locale config, and theming. The same pipeline that runs Milenio's comment section.
-
Do reader accounts live with Logora or with us?
With you. Readers register in your database via SSO. Logora is your data processor under Article 28 GDPR. The account graph is your first-party data; we add participation data on top.
-
Can we keep our existing comment system in parallel during the transition?
Yes. Most migrations from Disqus, Viafoura or Coral run in parallel for 2-4 weeks. We can also import the historical comments (we've done it for Milenio and other publishers).
-
What languages are supported?
French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (BR), English are native. Polish since April 2026. Other languages take 2-3 weeks of dataset preparation for the moderation model.
-
How does DSA transparency work in practice?
Every moderation decision is logged with structured fields (timestamp, moderator, rule, score, reason). At any point your team can export the annual DSA transparency report as CSV + JSON + a publication-ready PDF.
Comments your newsroom can be proud of.
A 60-minute call with our co-founders. We look at your articles, your moderation pain, your retention goals. You leave with a migration plan and a number, not a deck. Most pilots start free for the first month.
