The biggest conspiracy theory is that those who disagree with you are conspiracy theorists...

  That's a nice trite little saying, but it doesn't fit reality. I mean it's not like an angry group of right-wing people reply to every single tweet by democratic politicians, right? Why do you think HN is above that kind of thing? And a story that claims that PayPal is out to hamper free speech is exactly the kind of lightning rod that would attract such people.

    Trite? You're the one who brought up BlueAnon. (And if you're going to virtue-signal "HN is above that kind of thing," I'll remind you that whining about downvotes is against the guidelines) There seems to me to be plenty of room for interpretation (and potential for foul play) in the TOS. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but to call it a "fake news clickbait" is disingenuous.

      If there's room for interpretation, and you say "it absolutely means this very clickbaity interpretation" then yes, you are doing a clickbait, my friend.
