Excuse me- they are the ones claiming this company is lying to Congress, which they are not, and this person has zero proof of.
In no way was I personally attacking- I am correcting their blatant lie.
You should be standing up against a commenter making up lies about a small company in a huge space that’s doing amazing work.

I am trying to help you understand how to do that effectively yourself given that you appear to be new to the site (given your account age) and unfamiliar how to effectively communicate in this community.
People are frequently factually wrong. You will be more effective at correcting those factual errors if your tone remains civil, focused on facts and especially if you provide good citations to back up your corrections.
Additionally, calling out people as shills is specifically discouraged here as it does not lead to productive discussions. If you are concerned that someone is a shill, you should send an email to the HN moderators as they do investigate.
This is also explained the the guidelines (which really are worth reading.):
> Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and we'll look at the data.
