Because it's political, has no place here on HN, and should be flagged.
- Terr_ 2y ago"Because it's political" is facile. You propose banning stories about: * H1B visa legislation * How internet traffic metadata is collected by governments * Biological science if it somehow refers to evolution, unusual chromosome mixes, or embryonic development. * GNU/GPL/free-software efforts * Encryption And Much Much More!™ Most things are at least a little bit political--or can be made political by someone who makes it their politics--that it amounts to to a heckler's veto.
- IAmGraydon 2y agoI don't make the rules here on HN: Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
- lawn 2y agoIs it so hard to miss the "Most" at the beginning of the sentence?
