      I have the same impression that I tried to reject in the past, there is a heavy PR machinery here to control the course of discussion in a particular direction. The reality is that a lot of money is riding on it so its natural consequence.

         It's not even a conspiracy it's literally just business to do that.

         They're protecting their interests, and honesty and truthfulness be damned. Those two lead to much worse returns for them and much higher risk.

            Yes its part of business, lobbying is legal for those reasons. However IMO discrediting some one else is a risky legal move. I used to appreciate the HN mods jumping in discussions at times for the reputation of this community, lately that part seems to be missing too.
