There is a simple answer: HN is getting targeted by state-level actors and moderation team is asleep at the wheel, utterly unprepared to act against such a sophisticated threat. Perhaps someone should email dang, that…
Hahahaha, what? Most of western news sources are blocked in russia after they published Bucha reports. They are literally jailing people for mentioning it on personal vk pages and such.

I think him taking down your starlink access when you are using it is a much more risky part for countries. Already happened to Ukraine as well.
When "perceived enemies" don't care about this problem and exploit fossil fuel dependency to gain leverage over other countries it worsens the problem in realpolitik sense. It is unwise to just hand wave this aspect…
>Someone burns a koran You should look up who gives money to people who do that, and what political movement they represent. You should then look up this book [0] and who also gets money from the same group of people.…
I googled the phrase 'Portugal drug treatment' and found out what I was suspecting from the start - which is, everything I saw previously was correct and they indeed decriminalized all drugs up to certain weight and…

Same with all of the russian protests.
I saw some sources claiming that was a hack, but not sure how credible that claim was.

> because there's nothing they can do about it Are you talking about the China that bought huge areas in ports around the world? The same one that has secret police stations as well?
It's not because of free speech, if you look at every top comment in this thread you will find plenty less than agreeable ones, more than usual for hn in fact. I would argue the same thing happens on every thread…
There's a whole bunch of russians moderators of protest channels who get raided because they think telegram is secure, while in reality it's very easy to leak your phone, which can be used to find where you are. And now…
