Was this algorithmic change made before Elon's purchase or afterwards? The article doesn't say.
Considering that the Ukraine conflict has been going on since 2014 it would be nice to get more info before bringing out the pitchforks.
- esperent 4y agoWhy? If it's true then pitchforks are due. Doesn't really matter who ordered it, what matters is who's in charge right now and whether they can be forced into action.
- bmarquez 4y agoBecause many of the HN comments (at the time of posting) were talking about Elon and his possible motives, but if he didn't make the change then that's not relevant.
- SXX 4y agoLet's be honest nobody gave a damn about Ukraine or any of any of occupied territories before 24th February 2022. Though we can't know if it was added in 2022 before of after Elon actually took control over company.
- hyperhopper 4y agoNot at all. The takeover of crimea was a pretty big deal and I know a lot of my friends also watched the 111 part vice documentary "Russian roulette in Ukraine" and have been talking about it.
- Izkata 4y agoI assume they meant [state]occupied, not [event]occupied. In which case I agree with them - I heard a lot about it as it happened, then nothing in the years between.
