Was this the same “foreign meddling” we were told was behind the Hunter Biden story? Sorry but all of this sounds like an attack on free speech. I do think data privacy matters, low censorship is necessary, and content neutral algorithms are important. But boogeyman claims of foreign meddling look like actual meddling themselves.
Well if it "sounds like" an attack I guess case closed, right? No need to dig into the extensive reporting on the Internet Research Agency or other propaganda outfits.
Looking at how an election was cancelled in the Romania for a few ads or how a Musk twitt is somehow "foreign inference in an election" for the EU, yes the election interference narrative is clearly an attempt at censorship.
Any and every story of troubles seems to get quickly flagged or dead here. There seems to be zero counter-balast ehat-do-ebrt against the powers foreign & domestic who would censor & suppress: censoring on HN seems basically a free-for-all with zero accountability.
Surely this too will likely fail. Nothing will be done to enable speech where it is inconvenient for someone.
