Obviously not every HN user has the same perspective, but there are broad tendencies. HN is not a random sampling of mankind. If product A is praised for doing something while product B is unanimously condemned for doing the exact same thing in another country, it is reasonable to point that out. Plenty of people were eager to point out that Facebook censoring fake news wouldn't really be censorship, because it is not being done by the government but by a private company. Of course, that's exactly how it works in China. So where are all of those people on this story, pointing out that what Wechat does isn't really censorship and that this really isn't really a free speech issue?
