It was not, in fact, a hoax at all.
10 years ago if you told me people who describe themselves as patriots would be embracing Putin's disinformation campaigns in the US, going so far as to attack the capital to overturn an election, I wouldn't believe you. But here we are.
- viklove 6y agoIt's beautiful how we reached the core conundrum so quickly in this HN comment thread. If we're going to start "rooting out extremists" and deplatforming them en-masse, who gets to decide what counts as extremism?
- emodendroket 6y agoIn practice, this is exactly the same problem as every other moderated forum in history, right? Who decides what's trolling or flaming?
- viklove 6y agoNot the same problem. Twitter has a lot more power than, say, GameFAQs had back in the day.
