I don't really view this as anti-tech or anti-startup at all. These kind of laws make sense regardless of whether a small or large company is committing the offense.

How is this anti-tech or anti-startup? This doesn’t have anything to do with tech at all. I would welcome talking about purely technical subjects, like distributed database innovation. There’s nothing technical about impersonating a restaurant?

People sick of all the terrible, exploitative, world-worsening things that modern tech companies seems to be all about?

Yea I’ve noticed this too. HN is starting to feel more and more like my social surroundings here in Sweden.

On the other hand my social surroundings are obviously picking up some aspects of HN. Maybe culture is converging globally in a lot of ways?

anti tech... it's called fraud. The "We're just an app" excuse needs to die already. It has absolutely nothing to do with tech, everything to do with an unethical business model. Absolutely nothing to do with technology.
