I have no idea how to get Dang's attention, but can we talk about why this thread is flagged? How is this not blatant censorship? Tons of people are NOT seeing this thread, it was on the front page before it got flagged, obviously the intention of whoever flagged it.
This shouldn't have been flagged. My understanding is that posts which comment on current events from a tech perspective are 100% within the bounds of acceptable behavior here.
I wanted to, but it seems to be gone. :-(
[Ed. I see, flagged but not dead, so no vouching...]

Whatever happened to the "vouch" option? I wanted to, but it seems to be gone. :-( [Ed. I see, flagged but not dead, so no vouching...]

Normally @dang turns up to clarify and fix things Posts are flagged if a certain number of users flag them, not just mods/admins.
Is it possible to ban all users that flagged this post? Or at the very least permanently disable their downvoting and flagging power?

Separately, I'd be curious to know what systems are in place to deal with bad-faith flagging. There doesn't seem to be any mention of this in the Hacker News FAQ. Not saying that's what happened here, but it seems like a situation that would come up sooner or later.
I get the image if I'm more specific on DDG, via "tank man tiananmen square". Maybe just DDG needing more context than Google?
I searched for “fnord cakewalk” and got a pageful of results. It’s impossible that 2 generic words like “tank” and “man” give 0 results whatsoever for organic reasons.

Dang was working 12 hours ago, he's likely off at the moment.
Global censorship of very real events where citizens were standing up for freedom.

Very suspicious. I suspect employees are flagging this post, but my suspicions aren’t really founded. Is there a way to unflag?
