As someone who browses new a lot: Honestly wondering why this article and variants is posted so much? It's somewhat old news at this point yet somehow always posted with all different usernames, is someone out there really angry and wants to world to know? There's surely better ways to affect change than an obscure forum ? You should perhaps be petitioning politicians.

It doesn't seem like a concerted campaign, these don't look like sockuppet accounts.

I noticed that when any big news comes out, there are always slowpokes posting a dupe. E.g. Elon Musk Twitter deal was submitted countless times for each act of the drama.

I guess this was a similar case.
