HN had previously articles with a tech angle of using phone apps to track and restrict movement of saudi women. It's nice to keep seeing the evolution of the topic here.

That's a real stretch. You could argue any post on HN is slightly related to tech and there for should be allowed. However, even if that were the case, then comments about Khashoggi should be allowed as well as for it's directly related and was also previously discussed on HN. Obviously that's just playing devils advocate.

  The issue wasn't just that you commented on Khashoggi but that you did it in snarky and flamebaity and drive-by way ("in-embassy pick-up"). That breaks a number of the site guidelines, including: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
