Or there are financial incentives, which may justify paid interventions online to create the appearance of divisiveness. There are PR agencies which specialize in "grassroots PR". Users can email hn@ycombinator.com to ask for human review of flagged articles. If the article still remains flagged, only then is the flag sanctioned by HN moderators. Otherwise, flags could be anywhere on the spectrum between organic users, troll botnets and paid interventions. Is there an API to HN data which could report granular data on article flags, e.g. timestamps or user IDs doing the flagging? |
