I predict that this will be flagged very soon. I would love for HN to publish some data on likes/flags, even anonymous IDs with some infos like account age and number of posts. Sure someome will argue things here get flagged cause they are political, but I don't buy that.

We've had discussions about this sort of stuff before. As an Israeli (note the article exposing them is Israeli too) I was not aware until I saw this and I definitely intend to protest/organize about this (though to be fair I've been protesting about other stuff in the past and the climate here sucks).

>Sure someome will argue things here get flagged cause they are political, but I don't buy that. Are you saying that this isn't political? It's literally about politics. The comments section will be predictable and it will be flagged for that. Do you disagree?

  UK‘s censorship and surveillance is also political. Do they get flagged?

  I do not disagree that there is a political aspect to this article. Todays news on Fable and Mythos are political too. HN has plenty of political articles, yet some are more flagged than others. I claim there might be a pattern of supression. Are arguing against my main point that it would be good to have more transparency so I can support or refute my claim?

    The purpose is support enterprises which have investment in genocide, the free speech nature of this website was always questionable at best.

    >I claim there might be a pattern of supression. Do you want to count how many times words like nazi, genocide, terrorists appears in comments section about Anthropic vs here? Do you see the difference? But I am going to point to https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Blackcore isn't a startup. It was already covered everywhere in the news. So there is no need to post yet again.

  > Are you saying that this isn't political? It's literally about politics. Sure it's about politics, but it's also about tech. The intersection of politics and tech is a fascinating area, of great interest to many folks on HN, and probably within HN's charter. I think that merely touching on politics should not be grounds for flagging a submission, even when the specifics are highly controversial (as in this case).

  Just because something is political and is flagged, does not mean it was flagged because it was political. HN has plenty of unflagged political topics.

it isnt all that interesting from a tech perspective without details about the code and techniques used for doing it. its worth a flag in that its rage bait, and not surprising or new by any means that israel is aiming to meddle in elections
