> Are you saying that this isn't political? It's literally about politics.

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.
