This philosophy of thinking every opinion deserves and requires reasoned critique while maintaining decorum is worse than any rude words. The opinion expressed by the author does not deserve more than the two words they were generously afforded.
I don’t see how you can actually read the article with any care and think the author expressed an opinion. They aired a possible counter argument - “ Tracking technology can arguably benefit us as well.” In two paragraphs in a much longer piece.
It’s sad that HN has become a place where there is only room for simplistic one sided rants. That actual journalism is met with angry swearing.
