A lot (most?) of the public would say that child exploitative imagery is just such a 1-bit issue: we should always come down on it as hard as possible with whatever powers necessary. But a lot of the more libertarian/free-speech type thinkers that are highly represented on HN think that it is not by any means a black and white/1-bit issue, that it’s actually really nuanced.
On the other hand blockchain and Internet ads and seemingly little else routinely get the 1-bit treatment on HN all the time: GP is going grey at the time of writing for saying roughly that crypto hurts orphans.
I don’t understand this, and since my theories about why tend to be pretty polarizing I’ll leave it at: I’m against 1-bit thinking on HN. I’m guilty of it sometimes, but I try not to be.
Edit: Misread GP with apologies. I think the larger point stands.
