Every submission regarding his divorce was flagged and downvoted here. So I expect it will be the same with this. If not I will really start to doubt the hive mind.

I think that this is different since it is about him leaving rather than divorce itself.

Stop! This is a danger to our Democracy! The information above will give doubt to our glorious oligarchic leader Bill Gates and how much of a saint he is.

It's flagged because there's zero substance to even discuss; all that these articles say is that 2 things happened around the same time, followed by rumors and implications.

From the site guidelines:

> On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

This would be on TV, is covered by "pratfalls", and is not intellectually stimulating. It deserves flagging.
