Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?

Why HN links it

Linked as a source on the exposure of over one million Facebook accounts, harvested through a third-party app and bought for $5. Commenters cite the posts for that story without judging the writing.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
