Here's the question. Is it editorializing when your own existence is put in question?
Under SOPA, HN could be taken down with a simple link. One could create an account, post a link to some copyrighted material and then ask that HN be removed blocked at the DNS level.
So if HN is not willing to stand for that, what is willing to stand for?

- davidhansen 15y agoThe legislation covers blocking or redirection of DNS queries by zone. Last I checked, the HN hostname is inside the ycombinator.com DNS zone.
- brudgers 15y agoMy point is that shutting down HN would not significantly threaten the survival of YC. Please note that I am assuming that YC, and not HN, is the primary enterprise of the person or persons in a position to deal with these matters.
