I don't think you understand how repressive regimes work.
And I bet that on HN you'll find a lot of support for jailing people who install a let's say Nazi chat app on their phone.

- thrill 9y agoThe magnitude of the down votes on his comment lend some weight to his criticism.
- danso 9y agoI downvoted not just because it was an empty rhetorical statement (wouldn't upvotes also lend weight to his criticism?), but because such a claim should be supported by links to examples. For example, I can find recent discussions in which HN users have said companies like Cloudflare should feel obligated to not serve sites like Daily Stormer -- and many users who think Cloudflare should be neutral. Can't think of any significant group of users who have ever argued for jailing anyone involved in the situation, whether it be users or the Daily Stormer itself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15031922 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15031922
- acdha 9y agoYou don’t see any middle ground between downvotes and jailing? Not even a little?
