That is your interpretation of my comment. Notice how you are twisting it with the "Sorry, guys".
I support YC's effort. After all, I spent many hours of my life on solving this very problem through my non-profit startup.
Fake news has been a big problem for a long time for many countries. It would have been great if YC took an action before it became USA's problem. Think about the impact they could have made! I guess hindsight is 20/20.
I applied to Y combinator with an app that addressed both points raised under news section three years ago and didn't get accepted.
Back then we were facing the same issues in Turkey. Ultimately, we had to close down the site because Turkish government was silencing every opposing voice.
Funny how you guys are now thinking this is a big issue NOW.
In the big picture, my application is insignificant compared to the problem. I am questioning the reactive behavior.
