Flagged.

  Why?
  • tkahn6 14y ago
    Because this isn't reddit. Political stories used to be very rare here, as I'm sure you're aware, and that was a large part of the appeal.

      WikiLeaks stories are upvoted around here because (I suspect) they reflect the massive social changes that the internet is enabling, which the HN community is clearly interested in. Anonymous, WikiLeaks, et al represent the changing power dynamic in society globally, and that's fascinating to a lot of us (especially considering it generally involves people with a hacker mindset). I'd agree with flagging a real political story (like a Dems v Republicans rant) but flagging a WikiLeaks story doesn't make sense.

        Sorry. Wikileaks and the Assange drama is almost completely political. We don't need a story about Wikileaks every week. Not why I come here. I can go to reddit for that. Just because there is a technology aspect to a story does not make it appropriate.
