That’s to post something on a garbage social media like Facebook. Facebook owns their site, so I believe they can require whatever they want, and your option is to not use them. Other services requiring Facebook (or an Apple or Google phone) and everyone using Facebook are separate problems, that should be handled specifically; I think it’s easier to leave Facebook than coerce Facebook into decency.

Fortunately on Hacker News, you still only need a username and password. And if spam is an issue, on lobste.rs you only need an invite.
