Not a big surprise given how pro Government HN commenters can be.

The original site was penalized the way all partisan/political sites are penalized here. We changed the URL to the article it pointed to.
this is exactly how the system gets to be so abusive. government, politicians and those in power, manipulate the system by playing off the fears, desires, and hatred, of the constituency.
what those who frequent sites like this need to learn is to see that manipulation for what it is and stand firm against it regardless of who is the target. wrong is wrong, it does not become magically right if someone you don't like gets taken down. when they go we all go.
the danger specific to FBI is that it has become way to political in recent years due in part with how the Department of Justice has. Organizations with powers such as these should have all political leanings minimized if not actively sought out and ended.
I don't feel qualified to assess the inner workings of the FBI, but there appear to be no checks on this surveillance power with any teeth. We need to fix this immediately. It should not be a partisan issue.
