I think it is more that tech (and tech companies) become more subjects of political debate.

Are there subjects of political debate that aren't political?

People want to debate politics, but submissions about politics get killed. Therefore people end up using any excuse to debate politics in any thread.

Still better than being unregulated.

I don't come here to have political discussion, I want to find out what's interesting in tech, not to engage in flame wars (except the vim/emacs kind, that I fight).

I see tons of threads without political debate. I actually think the majority of threads are not political.
