Facebook is the Enemy Now

Meta: the hackernews community is clearly fixated on some topics and will always upvote articles attacking FaceBook, Tesla, Bitcoin, social justice, Trump, and maybe a few others. A lot of the submissions are low effort and beat out more interesting posts.<p>Is there any way to fix this? I come here for the interesting discussions, but the repetitive negative articles are dragging this website down IMO.

I have my concerns too about Facebook, but this is typical sensationalist journalism. If every statement weren’t hyperbolic I’d give it more credibility. Why are so many journalists so bad at their craft now? Read the NY Times, BBC or The Intercept and compare their professionalism to this article. They’ve become an anachronism in a sea of progressive blogger shit like HuffPo.

What is interesting is that the tech companies may be seeing both the Left and Right unite against them.<p>The left has always been suspicious of large corporations, especially those with monopolies, but because it perceived the founders as part of them it gave them a pass. The right has in the past been more hands off towards big business. However, the right is waking up to the danger of the big tech companies censoring them.<p>I think in the near future you are going to have a perfect storm where both the left and right get together and break up these companies.
