'Hacker' 'News' 'Flags' Accurate and Factual Article About Mozilla, So Let's Say More About Mozilla...

Summary: We've decided to confront censorship by saying more of what's being suppressed, in this case about Mozilla and Firefox (which seem to have become more about politics, not the technical things they once were)

THE fine line between moderation and censorship has been blurred to the point where editorial control becomes political, self-serving, or a product/service on sale (like keynotes).

The EPO exploits its cash to shape the narrative in the media, Bill Gates worries about his Epstein ties becoming widely known and thus bombards the media with revisionism/PR this week (even paying Twitter to dominate people's timelines), so maybe we should not be surprised to see mass censorship or a 'cull' in sites like Facebook and Reddit..

"...facts when they're not convenient to some companies/editors tend to just vanish, "flagged" without as much as a reason, let alone an explanation."This new video speaks of last night's censorship in 'Hacker' 'News'; it is part of a pattern.

Those who have followed us long enough are probably aware of other (prior) examples; facts when they're not convenient to some companies/editors tend to just vanish, "flagged" without as much of a reason, let alone an explanation.

Would you like some facts? We're 'Hacker' 'News'! Corporations are 'Hackers'
If they insist that Corporations are "Communities", then why can't we say that Corporations are "Hackers"?
