It looks to me like HN has been in a massive censorship mode in order to remove ongoing stories about the Bitcoin ETF, the SEC and the Twitter/X hack of the SEC's account.
That story was on the top by far yesterday and then it suspiciously disappeared, after the comments took a very decidedly (and very deservingly, in my opinion)
anti-Muskian bent.
Since then there has been no story about the bitcoin ETF on the front page of HN even though it is a very important time for bitcoin (the deadline for bitcoin etf inclusion is today) and HN loves talking about bitcoin.
So there is your answer.
- dang 3y agoThat has zero to do with this. (Btw HN has plenty of "anti-Muskian bent". A glut in fact! So I'm a bit mystified how that, of all things, would trigger suspicion)
