I believe the GP was referencing Zoom's encryption going through China's servers, which was on HN's recently: https://citizenlab.ca/2020/04/move-fast-roll-your-own-crypto... There are valid criticism to be discussed about China's actions and how much Zoom should be trusted given its close relation. There's been many criticism of the US government here and I never see anything flagged or removed, I would consider that nationalistic and provocative under the same guidelines. I just don't see why the China discussions are removed. |

Yes, and that's why comments about it should be thoughtful and substantive—not drive-by flamebait leading to useless flamewars about NATO and Winnie the Pooh.

That happens often. If you never see it, that's because of a cognitive bias: we notice and weight more strongly—that is, we see—what we dislike. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... People on the opposite side of this question have exactly the opposite complaint.
