So you think Russian trolls wouldn't want to spin this narrative? By virtue of what? Honor?
No, I just say that writing down any disagreement to the evil intentions of someone in power is extremely counterproductive.
There is plenty of people who are in sincere disagreement over this decision, and Linus just tries to silence them. This ain't alright and leads to direct abuse of power.
This is literally a chapter of an authoritarian playbook.
