I don't find this particular lawsuit or issue all that interesting or important, but there is a curious meta-topic surrounding its reception on HN and Reddit. Users on Reddit are claiming that admins (note, employee admins, not mods) are censoring the subject, and I noticed a highly upvoted story about it here on HN the other day vanished as soon as it hit the top spot. Any admins or mods here want to weigh in on why this can't be discussed?

Edit: It seems like this thread is already sliding down the rankings against its popularity. Is this due to people flagging it or has a mod/admin set it to fall faster manually?
