My previous (and admittedly cheeky) reply was flagged. I just want to still make it known that another, unrelated post purporting to display the names was removed, and how insultingly hypocritical the effort to keep them private is, when considering Page's efforts to make the personal information of every person reading this comment, and the personal information of the loved ones of every person reading this comment, available to the highest bidder.
Unless Page divests of his wealth before passing it on to his children (in any form - education, etc.), they will have the influence and opportunity that that wealth embodies. It's absolutely in the public interest to at least know who they are.
Flipping the script: I'd like to know what interest HN's readers and moderation have in censoring their identities.
- jedberg 7y agoIt has nothing to do with censoring their identities in particular. It's protecting the privacy of anyone. HN (and reddit and most other decent online forums) does not encourage doxxing anyone, no matter how famous their parents might be.
- bsanr2 7y agoRevealing someone's first name constitutes doxxing?
