<also-descendant-of-escapees> Censorship here is part of exactly the same greater pattern of suppressing dissent, where dissent includes the discussion of actual levers of power. This is done on various grounds but frankly the technological apparatus created by HN members collectively is deeply responsible for the rapid growth of authoritarianism that these sorts of discussions would draw in to question if they were not so aggressively muted. It's why I originally left HN and why I owe it to myself to leave again. FYI the reply I was writing before refreshing the post before posting was this: So the allegation, likely well founded, is that state-affiliated apparatus actually bothered to dedicate resources to monitor twitter, pull him up, and execute such a maneuver. Personally I wonder what the forebears of Israelis who experienced the Stasi would think if they woke up in modern Israel. On the question of the moral position of Israel, who do you believe: Jewish intellectual greats such as Einstein + Chomsky, the latter who as early as 1992 summarized that he was subject to the endless lies of the Anti-Defamation League and its friends, or a chilling silence still being actively promoted murky behind-the-scenes power structures of centralist media owners in 2021? You be the judge. ... now of course, that silence has reached HN. </also-descendant-of-escapees> Bye, HN. PS.
