Is this really happening? Lots of very reasonable comments are in fact getting downvoted. Because it is Chinese??? WTF? Are you saying this is a patriotism thing? Or are you saying either Zoom or Chinese organizations are paying people to downvote? Seriously this is bugging me. If this is going on on HN that is a serious violation. Normally HN seems like a sanctuary from crap like that.

Zoom seems popular, so many are willing to sacrifice principles for using something easy. Preconceptions are big everywhere, reinforced not fixed by mod points.
