I have a sneaky suspicion that nearly article with "Trump" in it is auto flagged in under one minute on HN... this one was less than a min old and already flagged.
>A broad requirement for federal software vendors to provide a software bill of materials — essentially an ingredient list of code components — is gone.
I feel like a lot of these policy removal attempts are just "did Biden do it? then no" and not informed decisions. Just personal gripes as government policy ...
same news, different source, trump mentioned in title - wasn’t and hasn’t been flagged at time of writing this comment (like an hour later).
it’s not auto-flagging or bot flagging. it’s just luck of the draw with humans and timings.

This article isn’t flagged now either, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t in the past. Also someone can flag something and the submission not result in being flagged.

Your comment says "30 minutes ago". I do not see this link/discussion as flagged.

It was flagged when I came to it and it was less than a minute old. I had to vouch for it to unflag it.
