This has nothing to do with the post nor the comment you're replying to. There's no need to inject an unrelated political point into the top post's top comment; just make your own post about the subject so it can be discussed there.

I take your point but disagree that they are unrelated. They are different news items, so I’ll try and isolate my comments in that way. I just think that people working infosec should care a lot about the sanctity of law and the importance of judicial review. If we let the court of popular opinion reign supreme, hackers will always lose and the powers that be, the elite, will always maintain control. Just my opinion, which I will try and keep more narrowly focused in the future.

You're right. Nothing is anything.

And anything is everything. Then we can deduce that everything is nothing.

I think there should be a corollary to Godwin's law to call out any thread that is very much subtle in trying to showcase just how much Donald Trump has been wronged by 'the media'. Sadly there's a surprisingly high amount of these on hn.
