Please don't post like this here.

Dang please email me and tell me specifically what I've done wrong here. I'm not trying to shitpost, I m pointing out the obvious FYI. Perhaps you could step back little bit and try to understand my point of view before threaten me

You simply need to follow the site guidelines when posting to HN. Would you mind reviewing them? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Your comment upthread broke at least these two:

"Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive."

"Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It destroys intellectual curiosity, which the site exists for."

I'm not sure what rule I've broken here. Id invite you to review some other comments here and compare them to my own and email me so we can come to a easy conclusion

I just mentioned two rules your comment broke. It wasn't thoughtful or substantive (instead, it was an indignant rant on a divisive topic). And it was a battle comment against an ideological opponent. These are just the things we don't want on HN because they spread flames and kill curiosity.

Perhaps it would help to read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20013092 in addition to the site guidelines.

I'm sorry if I offended you Daniel. I offer my sincere apologies as I've seen the good work you do here and know your job is not easy. That being said I'd also like to add that these parasite corporations who keep pushing the envelope in regards to maximizing profits due to tracking thier users 24 hours a day It just needs to stop I'm sorry if I touched nerve but this needs to be said. I'm not going to say millions of ppl are worried about this. I will say that I'm old enough to have followed Google from thier early days( And yes I made a bundle on thier stocks in the 2ktens) It's a whole new world now. Google is behaving like a parasite by hoovering up every single data point that they can,and yes it's legal and within thier ToS to do this - it's bad. It's probably evil. We could go on and on About it( how they destroy every single thing they touchit-And yes you can call me a hippocrate for using a Gmail Address and I accept your criticism( it's not my only one. Daniel if you have to shut me down again because I've pinched another nerve,so be it-

Can you be more clear about the specifics?

I don't like the general tone, but agree with the sentiment, and it seems tough to share without addressing the user personally, but was that it?
