Silent Technical Privilege

This was buried ridiculously quickly. It fell from the front page to position 153 in a matter of minutes.

Can anyone think of an explanation why?

I know there were special rules in place for NSA stories. If the same rule applies to stories on privilege or equality in tech, I'd be worried.

For anyone curious, it happened again (8 days later) with repost: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7064853

I'm only posting this because I opened the comments and the article in background tabs, read the article, read the comments and refreshed the comments page (my usual workflow on HN) only to see them turned off and the topic marked dead. It's actually my first time witnessing this... And I'm not sure how I feel about it.
