There has been a very large amount of flagging lately. I actually search now for various terms to see which ones have been flagged in the last 24hrs. It's definitely pretty interesting. You can do it by searching the usual suspects "Musk", "Tesla", "Trump" etc Some of the flags have triggered large conversations and it seems like the defense of the flagging comes down to these reasons: 1) Not related to tech 2) Overtly political article titles 3) Duplicated articles 4) HN users disagree with the political reference from article/title Having seen so many articles flagged lately, it's hard not to feel like the #4 group is key. I think this makes sense given the cohort of HN that comes from Sillicon Valley VC culture and who are a bit reticent at the creeping politicization of tech topics.
