Is Hacker News a publisher?
- 0x445442 4y agoTo my knowledge Hacker News does not publish misinformation that labels facts as misinformation. This is what Facebook, Twitter and YouTube do repeatedly. They’re publishers full stop.
- justapassenger 4y agoHN moderation will [dead] the content. Different mechanics, but same effect - basically kills its distribution. Of course, there are valid questions about prevalence of that, and there’s likely a point where moderation becomes publishing. But if that point was mere existence of moderation, every single platform is a publisher.
