I'm geniunely astounded at the small but vocal pro-censorship group on hackernews of all places. Where did this come from?
Just 5 or 10 or 15 years ago, the idea of any tech minded person being anti-anonymity would be incredibly shocking.
Just in the past 2 or 3 years, there has been quite a small vocal group advocating against anonymity and advocating for censorship. Why?
Not only that, there have been a rise in anti-open source software, anti-GNU, anti-linux rhetoric that is slowly rising on social media as well.
I'm just curious what the mindset or rationale is? Is it because hackernews has grown in popularity beyond the programmers/IT crowd?
