Distraction for whom? Is HN ground zero for prosecuting the FBI? The audience here is capable of holding many things in their heads at once.

Distraction for whom? Is HN ground zero for prosecuting the FBI? The audience here is capable of holding many things in their heads at once.
- Apocryphon 4y agoThe FBI is putting pressure on Apple to drop Enhanced Encryption, and still refusing to declassify their JFK files. Those are far more urgent issues than getting mad at mods. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33906649 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33906649 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33883834 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33883834
- colordrops 4y agoWe are just trying to achieve concensus on facts here, not strategize on our plan to prosecute the FBI. This is a pseudo anonymous forum, not a law firm or activist group. We can talk about all of these things at once, despite your protestations.
- Apocryphon 4y agoYes, and my free speech as protected by the First Amendment gives me the right to call this as plainly falling into the FBI's distraction trap, not to mention the whole giving cover to the sell-off of TSLA stock thing.
- colordrops 4y agoSo how about describing the FBI's dasterdly distraction plan rather than dropping random sketchy details every couple comments as an argumentation tool?
- Apocryphon 4y agoYou're posting in it. We're all here while those other threads remain low in replies. I'd say their plan has succeeded, wouldn't you? The proof is, as they say, in the pudding.
- colordrops 4y agoThis is absurd, sorry. I don't think there is any value in continuing this thread.
- Apocryphon 4y agoAgreed. This entire thread was flagged for a reason.
