I vouched this post since I don't really see a problem with the article.
The author here is expressing his ideas on recent ongoing events relating to the tech industry and antitrust litigation. Seems like it would be a perfectly valid thing to have here on Hacker News.
Not that TF is a Walter Cronkeit, but the sentiments and values he typically expresses are very notably not on show here, and may be taken as a watershed moment. Though perhaps only comprising a rather modest shed of unimpressive construction.

The two items I found of note:
1. The specific inclusion of SV / infotech / social media firms and dynamics.
2. The typically hagiographic Friedman being notably not.
Shades of "If I've lost Cronkeit, then I've lost Middle America": http://citation.allacademic.com/meta/p_mla_apa_research_cita...
