Did I indicate I was on board? Absolutely not. I think it's a disgrace that polite society is gearing up to wreck free speech on the internet just because we didn't like the result this time. But of the people calling to punitively regulate the tech industry now, only the tiny minority who've drunk the HN kool-aid are approaching it from a data-privacy perspective. The actual movement here is about Facebook's assistance to Trump and other extremist politicians, effective or not.
Also, not to get political, but would you be this upset over it if the other side had won and it turned out that they had employed a similar strategy (even if it had been proven ineffective, as CA’s strategy has)?
