Flagged. Pages submitted to HN should not be behind login walls.
This thread already has multiple references to the fact that you have to log in to see the submitted post. Some are justifying this by saying the content is only relevant for people/developers who have FB accounts. While this may be true, there are many HN users without a FB account. For them, this submission is nothing better than spam that attracts unverifiable comments.
Although there is a large intersection between the two groups of HN and FB users, you don't have to be signed up with any other webservice in order to use HN. This is not only about FB. As a matter of principle posts to HN should be accessible for all HN users without requiring them to sign up with any other webservice.
