Ask HN: Why aren't the big tech sites discussing #eG8?
Is it just me or is it odd that none of the big tech sites (except Arstechnica and Techdirt) are discussing eG8? I can't believe there's no story for Techcrunch, Gigaom, Gizmodo and even Engadget to write about in any of these days. Isn't this kind of a matter of life and death for the Internet?
I think they should take more responsibility in defending the environment in which they were built, or at least weigh in on the issue.

- mdariani 15y agoas long as there is no decision made by policians which will affect ordinary internet users, entrepreneurs and investors nobody cares. but of course you are right. there should be much more engagement right now to prevent negative decisions made by politicians in the future, who care more about elections and votes to get reelected #sarkozy
