Ask HN: Is HN a threat or a thread for spies? What's the inverse of a lobby?

2 pointsbarbudorojo11y ago2 comments

I was just reading the 173 comments to the post "U.S. Spies on Millions of Cars (wsj.com)", and I was thinking that the HN crowd has the power of knowledge and experience to combat spies first hand. Obviously there isn't any word to describe the inverse of a lobby, but if such word were added to our culture HN could be one of its first examples. Many heads and one heart is a weak scene because of an heart attack, so create a culture of freedom in your heart.

Edit s/thread/threat in the title. Edit s/threat/threat or a thread just to reflect both are plausible.

Thanks, thinking twice perhaps HN could be both: a thread to spawn spices and at the same time a threat to them. As we all know Knowledge is a double-edged sword.
