>Sure someome will argue things here get flagged cause they are political, but I don't buy that.

Are you saying that this isn't political? It's literally about politics. The comments section will be predictable and it will be flagged for that.

Do you disagree?

Sure it's about politics, but it's also about tech. The intersection of politics and tech is a fascinating area, of great interest to many folks on HN, and probably within HN's charter.

I think that merely touching on politics should not be grounds for flagging a submission, even when the specifics are highly controversial (as in this case).

Can you point me how was the tech used in this article about *tech* and politics. I didn't see anything.

I do not disagree that there is a political aspect to this article. Todays news on Fable and Mythos are political too. HN has plenty of political articles, yet some are more flagged than others.

I claim there might be a pattern of supression. Are arguing against my main point that it would be good to have more transparency so I can support or refute my claim?

		>I claim there might be a pattern of supression. Do you want to count how many times words like nazi, genocide, terrorists appears in comments section about Anthropic vs here? Do you see the difference? But I am going to point to https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Blackcore isn't a startup. It was already covered everywhere in the news. So there is no need to post yet again.

		It’s sort of a classic in any place where more than a couple of people gather to talk: “political” as a pejorative doesn’t mean “about politics”, it means “I don’t like the direction this is heading”. The obvious example is the American Right telling athletes to “stick to sports” but then howling and crying when an athlete gets blowback for uttering some loony right wing view.

		The purpose is support enterprises which have investment in genocide, the free speech nature of this website was always questionable at best.

Just because something is political and is flagged, does not mean it was flagged because it was political.

HN has plenty of unflagged political topics.

UK‘s censorship and surveillance is also political.

Do they get flagged?
