a couple of questions to those who are complaining about too many political stories here -- and i'm not being disingenuous , i really want to to know.
- do you see this as a political story? why or why not?
- some people here may be considering starting businesses where some of user-provided content they host might fall afoul of this policy. do you think this story meets the bar of being interest to the HN community?
- Andrew_Quentin 16y agoPolitical is a vague term. I do not think anyone really knows or can define it without some decade long argument and a final consensus. That the government can decide who is guilty however is not a matter of politics, but, fundamental principles. As to your second question, this is something which effects some of the HN community, whether genuine original content producers or otherwise. Thus, I do think it is news related to technology of a relatively new nature, thus, I would say, yes it is or has the potential to be of interest to the HN community.
