Yes, you're correct. What I should have said is that, since we can do special things for twitter.com, we should be able to do special things for URLs which point to Sci-Hub. I don't know at which point things become legally uncomfortable, but it currently only takes three clicks to turn a DOI into a Sci-Hub link even without HN's assistance.

Converting links to unpaywalled versions would be the same. I don't follow PG, so I might be wrong, but consider that this tweet is very terse. I think one can't extrapolate much from it.
