Does HN have a DR plan for censorship?

It runs on two servers. Data replicated to a new box (or two) outside the US, DNS switched, easy peasy. Non US controlled tld if needed.

What leads you to that conclusion?

I agree with OP, but I don't have a solid reason or precedent. In my case, I get the "high school bully" vibe from the current regime and its militant supporters. Bullies don't like it when a group doesn't fear and adulate them, so I just assume censorship of subcultures is coming soon.

In a merchantilist culture entrepreneurs are not exactly prized. I'll bet the presidential family acquihires a whole lot of small companies.

Would that count as being in his gang or just a low level supporter

That's protection money, though trump so far hasn't demonstrated to be particularly worried about honoring those payments.

Hear me out: Altman is signing deals with the pentagon and AWS (government sector) in the last thirty days or so. And blacklisting competitors (Anthropic). I’d say the protection money paid dividends.
