The more I think about this, the more inclined I am to see this kind of article as a kind of "fake news" that is deliberately (or with willful negligence) misrepresenting facts. I need to be clear that I don't believe in censorship and it's fine if this is what the author wants to write, but it should be called out how irresponsible it is. On a place like HN, the audience is generally able to read such things critically and form their own opinions, but for an audience that is not tech savvy (like that of the New Yorker) making false or hyperbolic claims about ethics and bias in research is both misleading and has the potential to really interfere with peoples livelihoods, funding, and legitimate research progress. There needs to be more calling out of this kind of nonsense, the same as if people are posting about vaccine conspiracies or something.
