IMO, the link should be updated to point to the original source. The Verge article adds no value to the discussion: https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/09/12/leaked-video-googl...

Fair, I just posted the link I originally saw. And I can't update myself. Mods, feel free..

Don't think it's allowed. I just tried to post it only to learn that someone else also tried; post is dead.

Not surprised, but think it's a little weird because the leaking of the video seems like a point for discussion of something happening in the company, SV, etc., maybe?

Maybe Dang (or someone other minder) will be kind enough to explain.

It’s worthy of a discussion in my mind. There are a few articles in the news this week about Google trying to influence the election in Clinton’s favor. And yet she still lost. Perhaps Google isn’t as influential as they think?

That being said, Google executives are not elected representatives of the American people and they subvert the voter’s will at the risk of regulation that will likely be worse for them and their customers.

Is it really surprising that a multinational company would have a preferred candidate? Although, I'm sure they lobbied extensively for all major candidates. It is interesting that both major parties seem to want to have their cake and eat it too when it comes to free speech, "common carrier", and antitrust issues.

I see an hour old post on the frontpage with 6 votes. This story has more votes in less time and is not on the frontpage. I think this is a far more important news story than "The Known Known".

Edit) So this tech related story is off-topic but the "known known" an explicitly political and off-topic post is not.

That site has been banned on HN for years. We're happy to make exceptions for specific cases where there's a substantive post, though, like this one.

And probably more flags.

It's also a very likely to be seen as an off-topic political story.
