Posts like these are dangerous because there's simply not enough people that realize you're being facetious.

"dripping with sarcasm" in audible speech works fine, in text, not so much

My deadpan delivery always gets me here. I can't use it with sarcasm.

I think plenty of people realized, and that's why it's [flagged].

This post is gonna be a good litmus test to see how many people read this comment to the end before they start attacking their keyboards

I'd be fine just getting the minute back of my life that I spent reading it. I don't think that reading off a list of contemptuous claims and insults is in any way productive, even when they are intended as satire. Are we not divided enough?

This is probably the first based HN post, ever? And of course it is flagged to death.

Did you read the article?

>> Censored Planet, however, uncovered that ISPs in Norway are imposing what the study calls “extremely aggressive” blocking across a broader range of content, including human rights websites like Human Rights Watch and online dating sites like Match.com.

Downvoting off-topic.

This year I've heard that both speech and silence is violence...so you can't win either way with some people.

Unless you say exactly what they want ;)

Which might work, until "what they want" moves. (They also get you in trouble for things you said in the past...)

I love how you're being downvoted for what is obviously and objectively true.

I'd wager that there's a not insignificant group of Americans that actually think hate speech is illegal (hint: it isn't).

he's being downvoted because he didn't get the obvious sarcasm.

dang I would like to see posts like this effect bans, there’s simply no value here and little chance of redemption for someone who writes something like this
Re:‘Extremely aggressive’ internet censorship spreads in the... by bendbro on Wednesday November 18, 2020 @05:28PM (#25143379)
> bans

Ironic given the context

> redemption

I'm actually in the confession booth right now, so consider my sins redeemed!

In seriousness, what do you find so horrible about this post? I thought it was fun.
