Ask HN: Why does every Wikileaks article/question get flagged?
I remember a few years back that Wikileaks news would reach the front page. Now they're all flagged. What gives?
- greenyoda 10y agoSeveral Wikileaks articles have been on the front page over the last few days. Here's a search of the most popular ones from the last week: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=wikileaks&sort=byPopularity&prefix&page=0&dateRange=pastWeek&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?query=wikileaks&sort=byPopularity&pr... Many of the ones that get flagged are essentially duplicates of articles that have been previously discussed, and provide no new information.
