You mean stories about American government hacked that don’t link directly to the files.

Infact I remember last year when the XP Source leaked I was the first to post it here and it was almost immediately taken down. So actually, you’re wrong. HN does take down hacked data from American companies all the time and I know this from first hand experience.

I don't know what story you're talking about but pretty sure the 'leaked tank manuals' stories all linked to stories with the files.
