I'm flagging this article because it is making a blaming statement nobody cares about the security of my unlocked phone, which is provably false. Let's start eliminating dissonance from HN by taking the time to think about the content we are consuming and how it affects us!
- tptacek 10y agoIf you're across the threshold for flagging, you can flag any story on the site in the sense that a link will appear and change to "unflag" when you click it. If you expect your flag privileges to mean anything more than that, you should probably avoid using "flag" as a downvote, because your flag privileges can be quietly stripped from your account --- in fact, there's any number of heuristics that can do it by cron job, without the moderators even knowing who you are. The "flag" feature is there to mark stories as off-topic and wholly inappropriate for HN. Nobody on HN thinks this is off-topic for the site. Just some advice!
