Sorry to hijack this thread with a completely off-topic issue, but I have no idea where else to reach about this. I did a submission yesterday showcasing the work of some of my colleagues at UofT, it's satire but it is backed by serious academical work. I was very sad to see it quickly got flagged and removed from the front page when it started to generate discussion. I just wanted to ask you to unflag it or provide an exlaination as to why it should remain flagged and is breaking the guidelines, as I believe censoring/muting academics on important topics such as AI in the current political climate is yet another dangerous step towards fascism.

The submission in question:

Thanks for listening to my plea, and again apologies for being so off-topic!

Best,
