Interesting, this is blowing up and should be on the frontpage but something tells me HN has it's own algorithm or super-mods that are demoting anything that they'd prefer not be discussed. Ironic. Also sucks because I used to love the tech crowds die hard love of free speech. Total absolutists. Aaron Swartz. Wikileaks. Snowden. You name it.
