Yes, the article is by Creative Commons, but it is not relevant for HN. I don't want to squash these kinds of articles, but if we keep getting them, it'll politicize the HN environment, which cuts down on dialogue.
I recommend posting such things on mattmaroon's www.nonhackernews.com.
- zby 18y agoAfter seeing the comments - I think you might be right about the politicizig.
- endtime 18y agoAgreed 110%. I prefer HN to reddit because it has interesting tech articles without the politics. I would hate to see that change.
- thewileyone 18y agoI disagree. Like it or not, this is the first time that a news network has opened their content for scrutiny, hopefully without editing which Al-Jazeera usually minimizes, letting the video speak for themselves.
- yters 18y agoI didn't mention anything about liking it or not. Explain to me how this topic's pertinence to HN outweighs its politicizing. Haven't plenty of other organizations released their content on creative commons? Why is Al-Jazeera important in this regard except for political reasons?
