- dang 13y agoThis is a dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7575139 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7575139. It's a good idea to check whether an article has been posted before. In the present case, running the title through HN Search returns the above pretty easily. When an article has already had attention on HN, we generally don't allow reposts for about a year. And when an article is already on the front page, as this one is, we definitely don't allow reposts. :) Also, please follow the guidelines and do not editorialize titles.
- asaddhamani 13y agoNormally when I post submissions and they're dupes, even with a different titles, I am forwarded to that article when I click submit instead of a duplicate getting submitted. Why that didn't happen this time, I don't know. Also, the complete title wasn't fitting the 80 char limit, hence why I had modify it, but I made sure it didn't reduce the clarity or affected the intended meaning in any way.

It’s why we’ve been fighting for transparency and government surveillance reform, and why we’ve been vocal and public with our principles and values." So you've taken on a board member who was part of creating the very government surveillance you want to see reformed.
