> Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.
You're breaking the site guidelines badly. On HN, you don't get to sling accusations of astroturfing and brigading with zero evidence. Someone else disagreeing with you isn't evidence of those things. It's just evidence that someone disagrees with you.
Please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and don't post anything more like this. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com, as the guidelines ask, and we'll look into it.
I create various accounts for posting on HN that I cycle through, because there are some individuals on HN that participate in ingenuine ad-hominen attacks (case and point) rather than actually engaging in the discussion at hand. Because of this, I try to limit my personal details shared via HN accounts.
This particular account was created because it was a throwaway to respond to a post regarding working conditions at AWS, hence the name. I am not shy about the fact that I work at AWS, and if you read my comment history you'll find that I think it's a garbage company that I am currently trying to leave, and I support unionization of workers.
But none of that actually addresses the question that was asked of you. Where are you getting your information that "They can't ban some and allow some, which is what happened here."? Because that information is not in the article, and it seems like you're just making it up. If there is such information available somewhere else, I'd like to read about it.
If you have an actual answer to the question at hand rather than trying to avoid the question and make dumbass assumptions based on my username, please do respond. Otherwise, I'll just assume that you are resorting to ad hominem attacks because you don't actually have any facts to back you up.
