Why has this been flagged??
Really, right-wingers stop at nothing to mute or distort what does not align with their opinions.
Before being flagged, this was on HN front page. The agenda is clear here.
- totetsu 6y agoThe low quality of the discussion I would guess..
- dang 6y agoThis is so common as to have made the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. It is bog standard HN moderation—I mean user moderation in this case, not moderator moderation. An inflammatory story makes it to the front page based on how sensational it is, then users flag it for the same reason. Live by the flames, die by the flames. We sometimes turn off users flags, especially when an article is interesting enough to support a substantive discussion, but that doesn't look like the case here.
- henearkr 6y agoI agree this post is more about illegitimate video editing by right-wingers (lawmakers), rather than about purely technology. Still, there is a connection with the deep-fake era that we just entered, and how we will manage to mitigate the consequences of it... Also, @dang yes don't worry I know that the moderators are not the ones responsible for flagging or unflagging.
