The thread is about workers' (criminal) liability for the actions they take at the direction of the company they work for....there is literally an entire thread about it for a post that made it to the front page, so I think it's at least of interest to HN, I'm not even sure what your comment is about.
I never saw that post, so you could link to it. Not sending a downvote, but I would... (citation needed, (criminal))
Nobody should have criminal liability for actions they took on the direction of their employer, while the employer gets away without consequence. Otherwise we should all get law degrees for free.
