Is this that same dubious Incognito Mode lawsuit from the other year? Yep, old news article as well.

Is this that same dubious Incognito Mode lawsuit from the other year?
Yep, old news article as well.
- maxqin1 5y agoDo you think it was astro-turfed to the front page? Or does HN get that giddy about Google controversy that they'll upvoted without reading?
- granzymes 5y agoOnly 35 points. I don’t think there’s any need for astroturfing allegations.
- maxqin1 5y agoTrue, but would a smart manipulator risk doing anymore than what it takes to push this to the #2 spot? (current rank at the time of this comment)
- granzymes 5y agoI don’t think there’s any need for astroturfing allegations given the low vote count and the fact that HN is predisposed to this type of article headline.
- maxqin1 5y agoI agree, my actual point was to point out the clear dislike of Google here. I only used to astroturfing comment as a mode of comparison, not to actually suggest it was the reason. But I agree, astroturfing allegations are not productive.
- dang 5y agoPlease don't post unsubstantive provocations here.
