To me this submission exemplifies the hacker in hacker news. This isn’t White Hacker News or Black Hacker News. It’s important we discuss events like this as they happen. It would be ridiculous not to.

That’s pretty heavily oversimplifying the issue. There were some pretty serious accusations levied against Kellog’s.

Weaponizing computer code to attack a domestic company's normal and legal operations is a bit black and white to me.

As far as I am concerned, anyone has the right to disagree. The company disagreed on terms with some potential hires who wanted a better job offer and has a right to look elsewhere for employees. There is nothing more to it than that.

Just ask for your money back from hn
