why did this get flagged?
2 comments

Usually it's either

1. Certain users do not like "political" topics on the front page. But as I said, the very idea of "apolitical" tech news is naive, especially in times like these.

2. Some users want to suppress it because it goes against their own political interests.

Either way, it's a gross misuse of the flag button. I am wondering: are there any consequences for wrongly flagging submissions?

lotta tech bros in palantir, and they read HN too, mate.
