Did I say there was no difference? I'm pretty sure I didn't. What I did say was that I don't think it makes a huge difference to the relevance of the story. Clearly there is some level of difference between "it will happen" and "it's already happened", but as far as whether the plan to filter/block is something we should care about or not, the difference doesn't seem massively significant - at least not to me. Maybe you'd enjoy Hacker News comments more if you actually read what they said rather than adding your own interpretation...
