The comments here are surprising, to say the least. I just ask that some of you actually take a step back and realize what you're defending here.

  The comments defending the fact checking? Or the comments defending it is okay for big government to step in and threaten to close a private company over fact checking?

    The latter.

  Are they surprising? HN is an absolute cesspool of alt-right "Conservatives" [1]. If you want AGW denial, unfettered capitalism, and as of late COVID denial, this is your place. These people have fully committed to the cult of Trump. dang is wonderfully enabling by never censuring their speech, but immediately banning/hiding/shadowbanning anyone who counters them. 1 - There is nothing conservative about Trump, beyond that he occasionally throws a bone to his enablers in the Senate and congress, and some hilariously transparent appeals to his evangelical base. I am historically a conservative, but Trumpism, and his brainless followers, has completely destroyed the title and it's something that now we have to hold almost in shame, just as Trump's cult calls the foundation of the Republican party -- the people who made it -- "RINOs". Trump appeals to contrarian bottom-feeders who think they're owning the libs or some other nonsense.
