- filleduchaos 6y agoWho exactly is us, though? For example, I don't recall FOSTA/SESTA and its ramifications generating anywhere close to this level of breathless outrage on HN. The leftists I know (actual leftists, not the USA's conflation of centrist ideals with leftism) are all already very intimate with getting targeted and censored. Who is the "us" whose unfiltered work/speech/views have always been guaranteed a platform?
