Where Are the Protest Discussions?

Question

I understand that HN tends towards apolitical content, and the benefits of that. But on a day where protests and riots are filling the streets, the silence here is eerie.Should we not be discussing actions that we can take to join the people on the streets?Protests are a surveillance issue. Protests elevate the voice of otherwise unheard people. These are problems which members here seem to care about regularly.Where are these voices now?

There has been lots of related discussion in the past few days: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastWeek&page=0&prefix=tru...If you want to have threads like that every day, you'll probably have to look for a more specialized site that is more tolerant of repetition.

Ah, you must be new here. This site is the epitome of "don't bring politics into tech".It's a policy that really needs an overhaul for the modern world.
