Ask HN: Why aren't the big tech sites discussing #eG8?

Is it just me or is it odd that none of the big tech sites (except Arstechnica and Techdirt) are discussing eG8? I can't believe there's no story for Techcrunch, Gigaom, Gizmodo and even Engadget to write about in any of these days. Isn't this kind of a matter of life and death for the Internet?

I think they should take more responsibility in defending the environment in which they were built, or at least weigh in on the issue.
