Mark needs to go
I think he has a majority of the voting shares, so nobody can get rid of him unfortunately. Meta is too big to fail and Zuck is set to be dictator for life if he wants to be.

#73I like to think we are in a better place than russia for instance with all its propaganda and jailed journalists, but then i see these kind of article come over and over.... Most of the people in the 'free world' goes on mainstream media, like facebook to get their news. These companies are enticed to 'suck up' to the government because at the end they are business, they need to be in good term with ruling class. you…
You’re not arrested for posting this, so that is a pretty big difference to Russia (and other authoritarian nations like China and Turkey), no? https://rsf.org/en/country/russia

The western endorsement of the genocide in Gaza has been some of the best PR Putin could ever have hoped for.
It simultaneously underlined the viciousness, the lack of moral credibility and extreme hypocrisy of western leaders in the eyes of the nonaligned world (e.g. the global south), none of whom sanctioned him.

You do realize that this is where things are going, right? Have you not heard of the arrests and recent deportations of student protestors? I don’t understand why we keep forgetting that authoritarianism is a slippery slope.
You have a point with democratic backsliding - but then your rights hinge on the impartiality of the judicial system (as a whole, and eventually, not necessarily individual decisions evidently). It’s pretty obvious that the legal systems even in flawed democracies is still vastly better than in those autocracies.
A tale as old as time: watch from the sidelines while things are relatively “good” before suddenly finding yourself on the naughty list.

#75I think my country (USA) would be healthier if a common sense viewpoint was selected and held. Conflicts are always terrible, and the Eurasia / Africa region countries are particularly brutal. Every citizen of every country has a human right (in a civilized civilization / society) to live a life that does not involve violence. A life where they are not worried about RPGs, bombings, (etc,) or military invasions. Some…
this is grossly misunderstanding the situation in Gaza, a two state solution was never acceptable to Israel, Hamas as it exists today is a result of Netanyahu policy. Israel created the monster to justify their genocide.
That might be the case, but that man cannot live forever. I am thinking long term, but am also just a civilian in the US. If there is good reason to have another policy I would like the experts to articulate that logic to us.

America's arrested rather a large number of people in recent weeks—university students, mostly—for expressing viewpoints on the I/P conflict. The current Administration is claiming, and no one's yet stopped them, that First Amendment rights don't apply to non-citizens such as international students.

For what it's worth, it's widely reported that ICE is trawling social media to find targets (targeted for their speech/viewpoints). HN itself is one of their known targets.

The difference with Russia is that they are much worse at hiding their corruption and censorship.
Russia doesn't bang the drum of "free speech" ad nauseam the way US social media magnates do.
Sure, the 'free speech' propaganda is a conscious part of the (better/more effective) public opinion manipulation playbook.

#79Why is the word Israeli removed from the title? and Meta added? Seems like quite a politically-important modification
Edit: ok you guys, all your responses have convinced me that I misread the room, and I'm going to reverse the title edit now. -- original reply: -- I did those title edits to (marginally) reduce the flamebait effect of the title, in keeping with standard moderation practice (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ). Titles have by far the biggest impact on discussion quality, so this is a big deal. Espe…
I think in this instance the perpetrator is central to the story/article

Tell me: how do you define “actual” genocide when the goalposts keep moving and the top courts responsible for prosecuting genocide keep getting ignored and (in the case of ICC) sanctioned? At this point, anyone with even an ounce of awareness & empathy should realize that international law is dead until further notice.

>You will also understand then, that the Jews defending their ninety mile strip by the sea are actually in their last stand in a fight for survival stretching back 1000 years
It's really hard to keep this kind of rhetoric going when we have the internet showing us videos of hospitals being bombed. That's not defense.
