well to be fair, the Mission Local story from 3 days ago about Tan tweeting Tupac lyrics, was posted 3 days ago and flagged 3 days ago.

This story's lede is several San Francisco Board Of Supervisors members receiving post cards quoting Garry Tan's words.

Different story.

The same story (different source) was also flagged today

In a lot of ways censorship here is worse than other places due to the weirdly attributed trust given towards HN members who think of themselves as enlightened intellectuals.

For example, try to post something pro Apple, or even try to play devils advocate. Your comment will be flagged within minutes.

I think in most regards HN actually has a pretty favourable opinion of Apple, at least when compared to, say, Google or Microsoft.

Indeed. Well, not to take away from the moderation team.
