If Logged into Facebook, Oculus VR Data Will Now Be Used for Ads

It doesn’t matter. One is still claiming astroturfing with nothing but circumstantial evidence. If you have actual evidence that this account is a troll, post it.

Regarding the “new account” argument: HN encourages throwaways. Maybe OP didn’t want to lose karma on their main account. Maybe they don’t want people knowing who he is? It doesn’t matter.

I never said we should believe him. Just that we shouldn’t claim astroturfing without evidence. We shouldn’t necessarily believe OP without evidence either.

Realistically, on a social site without additional evidence, the default assumption on the modern web should be that a given account is being compensated for what they're posting. An account's history might allow us to adjust that prior.

Fun fact: Circumstantial evidence is admissible in court!
