- mcphage 9y agoPart of that was sheer mass. For what, at least 2 weeks (?) there was article after article after article about it. And most articles were posted repeatedly, to the point where it was hard to tell which were posted first and which were posted later. I definitely got sick of seeing the same links over and over again..
- weberc2 9y agoMaybe, but it's not the only example of center/right political content being flagged.
- mcphage 9y agoArticles supporting Google's decision were also posted repeatedly, and flagged repeatedly. And articles criticizing the current administration are also frequently flag-killed, so it's not just right-wing coverage that gets removed.
- weberc2 9y agoI agree. The OP raised the point that left-leaning submissions get flagged a lot, making it seem like this is unique to that end of the spectrum. My point is that it happens to the right as well.
