Also, I noticed that some submissions unfavorable to Google seem to be flagged heavily (at least, they were posted more recently and had more upvotes, than higher-ranking submissions).
Of course, posting and flagging may not be intentional policy of Google, but also the work of individual Google employees.
- kerng 7y agoI totally can confirm this! It's gotten a little better over the years but still being critical of Google gets you downvoted and flagged quickly. Also worth highlighting that many HN members work for Google, so they have less incentive to shine light on these issues, sometimes maybe even defend Google.
