Not everyone is okay with it but the only way past it is regulating the tech sector and HN specifically is VERY against that, Republicans are against regulation that doesn't constrain the freedoms of people who aren't acceptable to religious fundamentalists, and Democrats seem to only care about preventing a progressive party from ever existing.
This has become common in social media. And we seem to be ok with it.
It's clearly a very fucked up thing. The only time I ever saw it irl was from a legit crazy person.
So are we all crazy now?
