> I see you're putting "no internet access without scanning your ID"
replyOther countries have already implemented this or are making strenuous efforts towards it. In Pakistan right now you need to submit a copy of your national ID card and scan your fingerprints to get a live LTE data service SIM card. This is not hyperbole but is real practice in some places that is soon going to be imported to jurisdictions that traditionally have more "freedom".

reply> You should be banned.
replyStatements like this are inflammatory—basically a personal attack—and ironically are much more likely to violate HN guidelines.
When the violation is so egregious, I think it's warranted. Posting this particular article should result in a ban from HN, and I stand by that.
