You got any links to some of those discussions with such overwhelming support for censorship on HN? Because your claim doesn't sound even remotely true from my own personal experience on here. Your response does however sound like a typrical Whataboutism comment on here.
- enitihas 8y agoSee the top comment on this thread(and other comments too) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16414703 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16414703. I am not able to find the HN thread on Tim Cook's comments, but here is a WaPo link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/12/04/apple-ceo-backs-chinas-vision-of-an-open-internet-as-censorship-reaches-new-heights/?utm_term=.5e7331c4a9c9 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/12/04... For some more info on apple helping censorship in China: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_the_iTunes_Store#China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_of_the_iTunes_Store... I am not saying Apple is wrong in choosing to operate in a very lucrative market, but just that other companies are no worse than Apple.
- kodablah 8y agoThe top-level comment is not representative because sub comments may be voted higher. It is unfortunate that you base your opinion on a site by top-level comments instead of top-quality ones. I have unwaveringly been against Apple's approach here, made it clear in posts like the one you linked to, and yet still as a whole we're branded. It seems the real problem is volume (in frequency and loudness) and the inability for people to look beyond it.
