The news about Satoshi emotionally affects a substantial number of readers on HN. Whilst it could be argued to be interesting and relevant, the news item is considered to be tasteless and infringing on the privacy of a member of a technology community. In the wider world, news about a tech personality would be interesting and "in the public interest". Here - it's too close to the bone. Thus I have seen two posts being removed by the OP who posted it, and I imagine that other posts have become flagged. In short whilst I agree that this news item is probably the worst kind of journalism, HN is self censoring, which I find more interesting, as do you OP!
