I doubt this is a case of censoring subject matter. I think it is more likely to have been flagged because it duplicates other submissions, and possibly because of the nature of the publication you link to, which describes itself as politically motivated.
- type0 5y agoBut there is no mention that it has been flagged, or you mean it was submitted previously and flagged before so it's censored now? It is still censorship.
- leephillips 5y agoSorry, I said “flagged” but all I saw was the “dead” mark. I’m really not up on this HN minutiae; I don’t know the difference.
- _Microft 5y ago"Dead" is when a submission was killed automatically because e.g. the domain is blacklisted. It is shown as "flagged" when too many users manually flagged it. Users can still "vouch" for dead submissions to recover them from this fate. This might be unavailable to new users or to people below a karma-threshold.
