Ask PG: Why did you kill the N*S*A* stories on HN?

I tried to submit a NSA* story a couple days ago about how the N S A(1) is snooping on iPhone that directly related to the FSF article(2) today while connecting it to something I read on HN 2 years ago...(3). While it isn't startup news, it does directly show and relate to EFF that the iPhone can't be a trusted platform.

It seems that you directly removed the ability to add comments as well as see articles that are related to any N S A information. Why? Are you trying to control HN and dictate the direction?

Hopefully because Hackernews was becoming NSANews.com. That shit was obnoxious. When 20 of the top 25 posts are about one topic you might as well open a new tab and do a search for that topic.

Exactly. Thank God. And it was getting hysterical (not in the funny way).

pg is clearly in the pocket of the NSA and is trying to control the discussion.

LOL!

I see three articles on the first two pages that are related to the recent revelations about the NSA.

I would say all these three stories are more Apple related which makes it even more strange.
