I haven't noticed heavy censorship. Who do you think is doing the censoring and how are they accomplishing it? Are there a few specific examples you can point to where that's happening?
- Jerry2 9y agoCheck out this story for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15136918 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15136918 It was censored by HN admins as a dupe.Even thought it's different from the other Google story about firing of a critic.
- jstandard 9y agoThe content of that story and especially the HN discussion of that story was 95% similar to an already much larger and very active discussion on HN about the New York Times version of that story. In case you missed it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15131370 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15131370 The WaPo article adds nothing materially new to a conversation about Open Markets and Barry Lynn's firing. Dozens of stories daily are marked as dupes to keep related conversations under one roof. I completely support marking the WaPo story as dupe and directing folks to the NYT discussion.
