This post is totally political. Having very little to do with technology. And the post completely ignores nuances and objectivity. It has already chosen a side. I guess because that's hip in the woke liberal era.
The post is about technology, but obviously you don’t agree with the subject matter, as evident by your dismissal of it as being “woke liberal”. That’s a pretty hypocritical statement.
This post does not belong in this site because it is more political than related to technology.
Just notice the tone in the article. It screams "politically charged post".
It has very little or nothing to do with technology.
I did not dismiss it for being "woke liberal". I dismissed it because it moves away from the ethics of journalist being objective and seeing nuance. They don't in this case.
And social media is decades old. This post is nowhere near about being a post about technology.
Is telephone directory fraud a post about tech? Telephone is a tech.
In that same way the post rides on reporting on tech but is really a political piece.
The owner (daughter of Eric Schmidt) is probably trying to score brownie points by making Israel the villain. Because they are an easy target and no one minds.
Remember the people who killed Jamal Khasoggi? They came by airplane (also a technology) and coordinated with satphones and cellphones (also technology). That news is not Rest of World material.
Social media is decades old, and if there's any censorship going on, it is comparable to newspaper sensorship and tech is not central (newspapers use computers and internet, so are they tech?).
And since this is controversial, this should not be in HN.
