We can't control which words people are super-reactive to in titles; we can only empirically observe what they are and try to dampen the effect, with the hope of making a thoughtful discussion at least a little more likely.
I this case you have completely changed the meaning of the title though. It sounds Like Meta did this of their own initiative which is a very different message.
I don't read it that way, FWIW.
I think some of you are overly focusing on the title instead of the overall effect of the moderator interventions here, which is that the article gets more attention and the story more coverage. In that sense, I'd think it would be in you guys' interest to take yes for an answer, much as zzzeek has here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43657317.

#213I 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 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.
True. I was born in Russia and to be honest I wish Russia would at least "bang the drum of free speech" as well. If you pretend to have some values you actually make people start to believe in them a bit

> The October 7th attacks were a gift to Israel's government, so they could gaslight the world into thinking the horrible shit they were already doing was to stop Hamas. What did the village of Masafer Yatta do to them? This is one of the most disgusting, vile statements I've seen on hacker news.

Only if you completely misread it and conflate the Israeli government with people living in Israel, which is a good way to misrepresent what I'm saying.
A government using a terrorist attack to justify its already rapid military expansion? Unheard of.
If you're disgusted by this sentiment, it means you have more good faith with the Israeli government than actual Jewish people, which is really sad. What's antisemitic is telling other Jewish people that they are self-hating when they don't clap for hospitals being bombed and children burned with white phosphorous. If you don't find this [1] vile, you are not a person who can judge morality.
And you were in this thread calling everyone who disagreed with you an Islamist cabal before you were flagged. Not sure I care about the opinion of such a blatantly brainwashed person.

HRW is funded by donations. More than 75% of its financial support comes from North America.
If you are alleging that Qatar is motivating the ideology of a human rights organization, I don't think that's true at all.

#218Just want to call out that the head of the trust and safety/integrity division, Guy Rosen, is an Israeli citizen with a strong pro-Israel bias. He’s also a person of questionable morals. From Wikipedia:
“ Guy Rosen and Roi Tiger founded Onavo in 2010. In October 2013, Onavo was acquired by Facebook, which used Onavo's analytics platform to monitor competitors. This influenced Facebook to make various business decisions, including its 2014 acquisition of WhatsApp. Since the acquisition, Onavo was frequently classified as being spyware, as the VPN was used to monetize application usage data collected within an allegedly privacy-focused environment.”
That Meta considered his questionable ethics a feature not a bug, and repeatedly promoted him, is very problematic.
