For those interested in what the internals of government monitoring of communications is like, do check out the BlueCoat logs leaked by Telecomix which I linked below. A vast multitude of hits relate to families, sexual habits, religious affiliations. What SEA does with news orgs is derail them as much as possible. There is very much an internal campaign to 'cleanse' the terrorists, repopulate parts of Homs with Alawites. This is real. Please don't hell ban me for it again.

I'm pretty sure hellbanning is not primarily an evaluation of whether the user is writing about "real" topics or not. HN is a discussion website for hackers and topics that interest them. If you're dropping wall-of-text posts in the middle of unrelated discussions, it's completely irrelevant whether you're talking about something "real" or not. Here already you're complaining about (re)posting into the void, and copy/pasting things you've apparently already posted elsewhere. This is a discussion site -- that is not discussion. You have more comments on this post than anyone else, half of them complaining about being hell-banned; that's also not discussion. Finally, I read what you wrote and still have little clue of what you're talking about. It's probably worth finding a single solid source for what you're talking about, post it, and then discuss it (not just flood the comment thread...). I.e., see what people are wondering about, or what other people know... that's how discussion works. Good luck.

  That is part of the problem, in my opinion. I've tried my hardest to stoke conservation away from the possible legalities of this and that and push it towards the ultimate outcomes of the technology when put into use. Also, there is no single source. If you want to read a lovely edited story try the storyful link, once done I have much additional content of the detainees being slaughtered by Assad's loyalists and families. Or you could try the 'understanding war' link which details the forced depopulation under shelling and tank fire of Sunnis, repopulation of Alawites to boost military supply lines. Nicely written too. edit: Thanks for the suggestions without being dismissive.
