If we're quoting HN comment guidelines, you're supposed to interpret comments in the best possible light - which you are clearly not doing. The OP is not trolling. They're referring to a type of justification for censorship that's been used for literally thousands of years; with aspects of political censorship and narrative control. That's very relevant and on topic for this discussion, and there's nothing ideological or bad-faith about it.
