this was the url: https://blog.icecatbrowser.org/blog/20240702/what-does-firef...

Doesn't surprise me that this was flagged. It's a video that doesn't have much content. I suspect it would not have been flagged if you'd captured the list of domains Firefox is connecting to and done some analysis on it. Otherwise it's just showing that Firefox connects to a bunch of stuff. Hard to know if that stuff is bad or not.

Hacker News is aggressively moderated, it's very much "quality over freedom" as far as speech goes. I don't know why people keep expecting it to be like 4chan, just because it has "hacker" in the title.
