Do you not see the irony of posting this on a social media site (hacker news), given you're one of the users?

I guess self-hatred is one of the motivating vectors of authoritarianism.

Would you also secretly like it if daddy government was always watching you on camera and triggered your shock collar every time you reached for a candy bar?

Hackernews is not social media. Just no. Unless the term os literally meaningless in which case my Company's slack ks social media.

You may believe this, but the classification of what qualifies as 'social media' won't be up to you when you hand over this level of power to government. If Reddit is social media so is this site, they are literally the same thing.

Sorry, yes. Ever hear of Yammer?
