I appreciate your efforts to make Hacker News great, but I think this action is heavy-handed.
The court's decision hurts the internet, hurts small companies on the internet, and hurts the ability of the United States to fight terrorism.
I may not have worded this opinion particularly well, but it's ridiculous that my comment cannot even be expressed.
- dang 11y agoIt can still be expressed, of course. It's just that it wasn't particularly a reply to its parent and took the discussion on a generic tangent (U.S. = world police) that is also a classic flamewar topic. We don't kill such subthreads, but we do move them. I can understand why you don't see it that way and wouldn't claim that our decisions are all obvious or all correct. They're imprecise judgment calls.
- VikingCoder 11y agoI really appreciate your response.
