The timing of the leak is interesting. It might point to the fact that situation on ground in Gaza is dire enough that big companies want some plausible deniability. This is just a speculation though.

The OP account has had 72 of their last 90 submissions flagged/killed. How is a situation like this not an automatic, algorithmic, shadow-ban? Why allow someone like this to continue "contributing"?

What about the OP's submission strikes you as violating HN's TOS or Code of Conduct?

TheIntercept is legit journalism, no need to put "contributing" in quotes.

Don’t play dumb a number of the submissions involve Israel . Why negative submission involving Israel are down voted continues to be a mystery

No mystery really.

Journalism is a cornerstone of democracy. Recommending censorship would only strengthen the fascists among us. You should do like me and confront lies or injustices when you encounter one.

Looks like the 72/90 is actually from shadow banning.

But to answer whose opinions do you want to ban? Who is speaking correctly?

Google worried it cant control how [insert name of any foreign country] could use their cloud infrastructure.

I mean I understand the concerns but they are the same of us giving any other country cloud infrastructure tooling, which doesn't just magically happen to just any country to be fair.

If its not Google then it will be any defense contractors and cloud provider that just wants to print dollar bills.

"IBM and the Holocaust" == "Google and the Gaza Genocide"

Obvious bullshit is obvious. The project did exactly what it was intended to do.
