  These two comments, in a nutshell, perfectly exemplify the Europe vs USA mentality, socialism vs libertarianism. Top down oversight vs you need to protect yourself because no one will. If only you could draw a gun at these pesky websites! /s

    A fella could dream, right? It would be funny to have a wild west subnet of the internet where ddos and hacking was something you signed s EULA for on the way in…

  Ill get the average facebook user (60+ y/o boomer) right on to identifying domain links and how to block them.

    I wrote it to you, not them. I thought you will find it useful. Also I don't expect GP convincing HN users to protest or to reach out older relatives, or whatever would help the 60+ fb users, but my comment convincing HN users to not to do that.

      >I thought you will find it useful. That seems unlikely. It come across more as a passive complaint about the comment. A sort of “Why are you bothering me with this?”. I doubt you believe the other person wasn’t aware of blocking abilities, as you provided no actual assistance in that direction either.

    The average Facebook user is not 60+ y/o person [0]. 60.3% is between the ages of 18 through 44 according to Statista as of April, 2023. [0] https://www.statista.com/statistics/187549/facebook-distribution-of-users-age-group-usa/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/187549/facebook-distribu...

    No need to make statements characterizing people's abilities based on age, especially since most folks would find blocking specific domains a challenge. I am making this statement based on working with people across all age groups from right out of high school to older adults. (My sample is not representative, but the bias is probably more towards tech and having a college degree than in the other directions.)
