I'm guessing because the one about fake news/free speech is political activism/propaganda? We've had nearly an entire year of that nonsense and I think most of us have grown tired of it already. Go to reddit if you enjoy propaganda. I hope we don't go back to the time where half of HN is facebook nonsense pushed by god knows whom.

What an absurd perspective. Talking about the toxicity that exists on Facebook's platform is "poltical activism", now? Or wait, sorry, "propaganda". If you haven't heard anyone you know complaining about the crap they see on Facebook then you're living in a bubble. FB even launched an entire ad campaign trying to apologize to users for it. Any conversation about Facebook's performance is incomplete without discussing it, whether or not you wish to shut it down by labelling it "propaganda".

We've had facebook propaganda ( mostly anti ) spammed on HN for a year. Most of us are sick of it. Go to reddit if you want propaganda. > Any conversation about Facebook's performance is incomplete without discussing it, whether or not you wish to shut it down by labelling it "propaganda". Then discuss here? Why do we need an entire post dedicated specifically to that? Or are you just interested in spamming HN with anti-facebook posts? I'm glad the mods are filtering out facebook nonsense. It's been a long time coming. I don't want to go back to the time where half of HN was facebook propaganda. It was ridiculous. If you want to talk about FB performance, this is a fine post to do it in. Not sure why we need two posts on HN for the same discussion. Other than propaganda that is.
