HN did not ban it, the community flagged it. I started flagging these threads because people started playing the victim and did not offer anything other than spamming the same thing over and over. If a topic gets flagged, wait 6 or 12 hours instead of 6 or 12 seconds and try again, that is often all it takes.
Are you saying the topic itself is flaggable (a media outlet self-censoring)? Or are you saying that you take issue with the people posting comments in the threads — and so therefore flag the topic?
The methods left me feeling fairly confident that if a thread survived on the front page with the people currently online, it would be a shitshow. Wait a few hours before posting or email the mods.

HN has seemingly banned this story, but technology combating censorship seems as "hacker"a topic as I can imagine.

Gerry Tan's X feed makes it pretty clear where YC is politically aligned nowadays.
