I have a common lastnameinitial @ email provider. It's the same username from my mainframe days. Some people with similar surname use that, probably because they either don't want to receive emails or because they are just... I do

Add to this the government destroying the institutions that exist to prevent exactly that from happening. It is part of a plan. Tech bros allied to corrupt officials.

They didn't vote for this. I bet the majority of those voters cast their vote trying to get better egg prices. They aren't going to get that.

No one (inside the government) probably considers that EO to be valid. It's just for "the others".

I think the interesting is the tech community that used to be liberal and loving turning to something completely the opposite. Blindly following some playbook by "luminaires", and adopting the most awful parts of the discourse. I

On that note, Facebook suggestions are 3:1 or 4:1 in relation to my friends. The reason I only visit FB once a month to check for messages from some people who still use Messenger.

That's why following HN from a RSS feed is invaluable. You get to see everything, even the things groupthink filters out.

So true. I mentioned this to a group of friends. The number of people saying this move is good news for speech just shows how people see free speech as being good only when it fills their pockets or aligns with their interests.

I'm sorry you are going through this. I'll be blunt. I believe in the UK (as in NZ) a statement of truth or opinion is not defamatory. One would still have to go through the motions though, to prove it. Reading the blog post I am
