This is my understanding as well. But we're going to need to come back later with some input from case law.

Accusing someone of being a shill is against the guidelines of the community, and it distracts from intelligible conversation. I would appreciate if you deleted your comment and engaged in respectable commenting.

> Full stop, no it isn't. It was my understanding that 18 U.S. Code § 871 included depictions enticing or encouraging such acts. I will look this up and come back with more information at a later time. And to be clear here I mean a

I was actually asked to leave. My comments and opinions have been deleted, hidden, shadowbanned and obscured elsewhere. Indeed, it's hard to find a place on American social media where dissenting opinions can be argued. There's ei

Thank you dang. This will happen. More and more, social media platforms have been telling me - or using their algorithms to tell me - that my opinions, as educated and well argued as they are, are not welcome on their sites. I did not expec

Please report this to the moderators (I looked but don't know how), as I would like to be vindicated. There's a downvote brigade on my posts right now and anything I want to contribute gets detailed into accusations of my being so

Is there a term I should be using instead when I'm talking about international media coming from Western countries? I use the term Russian media and Chinese media, though I don't talk about them as much (I don't read them as

Sure. I tried to post actual Snowden documents (that means PDFs hosted on the internet, on CDNs, on mirrors and on news websites). I also tried to post articles about Snowden documents (Der Speigel articles and Guardian articles). Public re

I see. It appears you've decided your opinion long ago. Please don't appeal to me as the rest of this comment is not to you. I'd like to address the HN community. Note the above authoritative assurance this commentor is givin

I'm an American. I grew up in the New England area and I now live on the West Coast. I'm in Computer Security. I do not know how to address a challenge like this? How can I - without providing something absurd like my driver'

I'm ashamed of my US college education and the US public school system, for it has failed at even the most simple task: endowing me with intelligible enough English so that random commentators on the internet are able to identify my fi

That's a straw man based on etymology. It's wasteful to argue a straw man.

I agree with you that it is a common American sentiment that American propaganda is credible, and opposing opinions and facts are not.

That's the understanding one would get reading exclusively American media coverage. The long and short? The Qing Dynasty had territory over these islands before WWII. It was never a powerful naval power. The Japanese took them and more

The article presents many opinions as though they are facts. One of the crucial aspects to understanding the South China Sea situation is the dispute of the sovereignty of the waters. The New York Times doesn't provide context on the s
