I disagree. Despite what you may think about the NY Post, this is a big story about a current presidential candidate's son, in regards to major corruption that involves his father directly.
You can say they're lying, that's one thing. But to prevent the story from a major news publication from going out entirely .. that's narrative building. Big tech is shaping narrative. This story, even to refute it, is no where on CNN's front page.
This belongs on HackerNews because it's about big tech and big censorship. We are seeing unprecedented steps being taken to mark and judge stories by social media companies, and yet they're still trying to claim they're not publishers for the purposes of section 203.
- ojnabieoot 6y agoMy point is that the person who submitted this used a deeply misleading title. It really has nothing to do with the NY Post story specifically, or about the overall "censorship or fact-checking?" story: if the only contribution to the overall story is a dishonest summary of some tweets, a summary that is designed to inflame rather than inform, then it deserves to be flagged on HN. This title only fans a flamewar.
