If it were "60% of Americans favor HN ban", it'd be very easy for HN to recognize the morally abhorrent censorship for what it is. Extend to people you dislike, and who are very unlike you, the same dignity and autonomy you would yourself enjoy.
(It's also clarifying to contemplate this argument: "we're *not* banning you from accessing HN: we're merely banning HN from making its website accessible by you).
- netsharc 3y agoIf 60% favor the ban because they view HN ass addicting, then maybe it's worth considering one's consumption of HN content. I guess it's mostly because it's owned by China, if it's the addiction they'd also want to ban the Zuckerverse.
- perihelions 3y ago- "favor the ban because" There's endless reasons you might want to stop other people from reading the things they want to read, and none of them matter, because, it is not your business what other people read.
