Did you read that article? The guy's grandpa did not need oxygen, but died of a heart attack instead.
During this time of crisis, it's common for governments to crack down on speech. You've heard of the "shouting 'FIRE' in a crowded movie hall" analogy, right?
- ravenstine 5y agoThat principle was never intended as a reason for censorship. People shouting fire in a crowded theater should receive a trial. Facebook and Twitter aren't known for having a formal appeals process, and you're lucky if they even give you any attention.
- isatty 5y agoI seriously hope that I won’t have to resort to name calling here on HN but are you for real? Oxygen and advanced life support is not unique to COVID and his tweets don’t say so either. How the hell is this equivalent to shouting “FIRE” in a crowded place?
- sanmon3186 5y agoTo be fair, anyone looking for oxygen in the current situation would assume it is for Covid. Not saying 88 old grandpa of his cousin did not deserve attention, but the guy got called from cabinet ministry, thrice.
- dagmx 5y agoDid you read that the statement of it being a heart attack came from the police (that are being used to intimidate people) and not medical professionals.
- omegaworks 5y agoOxygen is typically necessary for people with heart conditions. Any pressure on the supply will have impact all across the board.
