Downvotes probably because HackerNews is very anti-censorship, even if it's in a field that's been censored since the beginning (they read the mail inmates send out, but making it punishable to use ways around that is somehow super bad?) They're clearly either not thinking about the people who are putting out hits by using their contacts through SNS or they are and going the "censorship is bad period." route, which is understandable. I wouldn't complain, but in this event it's actually hindering decent conversation. shrug It is what it is.
