The really rough part about HN is the low level of knowledge about how governments and politics work. It's ok to judge these outcomes harshly but many commenters here intermingle their judgements with their mental models that seem to have not evolved beyond what they were taught in secondary school.
It's really quite concerning because some of these people have tremendous power. I suppose the only positive is that a number of titans of Silicon Valley are not savvy enough to challenge increasingly assertive governments.
