The article talks about Hacker News comments "quoted in this article, that I am having trouble finding now on the live version of the site." As far as I can tell, the comment they're referring to is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21053930 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21053930, which appears to have been edited years after it was posted (judging by Wayback Machine snapshots), along with one of the replies, to redact the name of the person involved. Edit: And now this post is marked as a "dupe", even though it doesn't appear to have been posted on Hacker News before. Weird.

It also got flagged four times in a row. Probably due to the subject matter and the person named therein. A friend sent me this and it blew my mind. Infra being this vulnerable to a single angry person is... Bad.

  I have never seen something positive about Liz Fong-Jones but HN shouldn't be the torch & pitchfork store against her. Given the topic and the people part of it, I don't think anything constructive will come from it.

    Why shouldn't HN be critical of the damage done to the internet infrastructure as a whole?

Software incorrectly marked the post as a dupe - I've fixed that now. We redact PII on HN pretty regularly. The basic principles are that we don't want anyone to get in trouble from anything they posted on HN, and we don't want HN commenters to use other people's personal details as ammunition.

  Is there any public log of redactions anywhere?

  Hey @dang, I think I've also found an issue w/ the software. Wrote to hn@... but haven't got a reply (it was a couple days ago, so I imagine you're all busy).
