Dang, educate yourself on Facebook’s effect in Myanmar.

If you think this is just political battles, perhaps do a bit of self reflection and maybe Hacker News is not the pinnacle of intellectual thought you are giving it the credit of being.

I will. But let me say this, for 30 years Godwin’s law was sort of a joke on the internet and circa 10 yrs ago, I would have expected a genocide comment to be ridiculous. But considering this context, it is relevant not merely a “political” battle.
