If you read past the first two paragraphs you'd realize this was an ironical statement. But I guess this is HN now, where everything's made up and the points don't matter.
I subscribe to the New Yorker. Every week I open it on Monday and I probably read about half of it by Sunday. I live in Europe, so I'm keenly aware of when the weekly issue comes out. (Due to timezone differences, it's typically not available in the app until Monday afternoon, so I start reading over afternoon coffee, not morning coffee.)
Every few weeks, within minutes or hours of a good 20-page article coming out--an article that will take me the week to digest--I see it posted on HN.
And of course, all the top commenters have strong, strong opinions on it.
Foot in mouth. I think you’re right that the article is arguing against censorship in the name of combatting disinfo. I still can’t tell but I think so. Go ahead and downvote me to oblivion.
