Today HackerNoon deleted not only my profile, and every article I've published on the site; they also deleted every article that referenced me. The reason for the erasure is a dispute about canonicalization for syndicated content. It's as dumb and disrespectful to writers as it sounds.

I syndicated multiple stories to HackerNoon with a correct (according to Google) canonical URL to the original content. HackerNoon removed those canonical URLs without my consent, published the articles, and refused to add them back after multiple requests citing "best practices" that they refuse to clarify.
