I’m sick and tired of articles like that popping-up on this site. This is not Twitter. Why is irrelevant political content not flagged immediately.

- dang 9y agoThe mandate of this site is intellectual curiosity. Take a look at the first paragraph of https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. I'd say this video footage easily qualifies as gratifying intellectual curiosity (it did mine, anyhow), despite the provocativeness of the material. Had the discussion gone haywire we'd have downweighted the thread, but it isn't too bad. Actually we've downweighted it a bit, but before that we turned off an automatic software penalty that applied. Balancing act.
