The majority of americans agree with this decision. You may not like it but HN audience is very tech savvy and is influenced by popular thinking in tech. The sentiment against assamge, patriot act, even the iraq war was popular at the time. Now I have tried to make a rational argument for this ban but all I got was downvotes even bots/people downvoting every unrelated thing I post probably including this post. You need to engage in polite discourse with others and change their minds not complain about the government. And believe me when I say, having seen how things are in other countries, as bad as things are in the US I wouldn't trade it for any other country. You've all chosen to whine in your bubbles instead of a healthy debate. Enjoy the result.
