# IntenseDebate

Marketing · [Official website](https://intensedebate.com)

IntenseDebate is a comment system from Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, that replaces a site's native comments with threaded discussions, reputation points and social sign-in. The comment section loads from IntenseDebate's servers and links commenters to their accounts. As a third-party embed handling personal data, it generally requires consent before it loads.
