Time and time we are proven again and again that Facebook has become the emblem of how far technology can go to support pure malicious intention with widespread support.

Indeed. Facebook is one of the scummiest tech companies in existence.

facebook is not a tech company. What new tech did it invent? It is exploiting human psychology for advertising purposes using previously existing tech

React, yarn, cassandra.
Looking at the first page of your comment history, it seems a good third of your comments get downvoted. It may be wise to reread the HN guidelines:

PyTorch. It's better than Tensorflow
This thread was removed from the front page of HN real fast, as in—one second it's at the top of the site, the next minute it's gone. Despite being very, very relevant news and lots of discussion going on.
It's disappointing, although not surprising, to know where HN's allegiences lie in this particular fight.

As far as I know HN downranks threads with a high comment to upvote ratio, and this one probably fell under the threshold

It's still on page 2 so it's not like it vanished. Who knows how the scoring algo works.

It's on page 2 but in grey font. What does that mean? 164 points after 2 hours.
Many downvotes by GDPR haters???
Edit: s/at the moment/after 2 hours/

I think the grey text is something else -- like if it was already visited before or you upvoted it or something. I checked on two different browsers and it was gray on one but not on the other, so who knows.

You are correct. It's the rendering applied by my Firefox, because I had visited the page before. (Outside of hn, someone sent me the link earlier)

Tech companies in general have beaten low standards and mediocrity into people's heads. Not only are they okay with using these products, they now try to recreate the same low bar set by the greater industry.
Facebook should be destroyed.
