This is hacker news, not Reddit world news or politics...

  I'm not sure what that means, but not all hackers are in the US.

    Not gp but I think the original post’s tone sounds like a political post on reddit, and I agree it doesn’t belong here. It’s classic complaining about downvoting. All that aside, I think this is an interesting article we can talk about without this. To me it sounds like it might be a symptom of regulatory capture in the US.

    And only about 50% of Hacker News users are in the US.
