Should this be flagged? I was told HN is not a place for politics and that "if it's on the news, it's not for HN".

Or does that logic only apply to US-based developments?

This is a little different, this is probably an issue anyone of any side politically can agree is bad. A government is killing their own people in the tens of thousands. It is foolish to even waste time pointing fingers outside of the country in question in my eyes because its irrelevant, their current government is killing citizens in the right here and right now.

The idea that we can "avoid politics" while talking about the industry is ridiculous anyway...

When people, or communities, or companies, show you their true colors, believe them. Watch out for all those flocking in to explain how this is different…
