Not familiar with this magazine but the article is pure propaganda in favor of an absurd government bill. Feels odd to read. I hope people think about what would motivate one to write and publish a piece like this.

> I hope people think about what would motivate one to write and publish a piece like this. The same can be said about those that oppose legislation. Are you against it because you're some black hat that knows how to exploit people using AI? Are you just part of Big Data and want to harvest everyone's info? Are you some kind of pseudo-anarchist that believes society is better off without any rules? Maybe you are all of those things. But it's most likely you're not. As it's most likely that the person who wrote this is not maliciously motivated. My point is it's not conducive to assume someone has nefarious reasons for an opinion with no evidence of it. Try pointing out flaws and countering them. Jumping to conclusions that someone's a shill/troll/whatever is a bad idea in general. There are reasons it's in the guidelines for HN: Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.
