HN's remit is not 'everything someone thinks is serious', there are zillions of very serious issues for which HN is not a great place. The problems with proposed legislation posts are covered in the moderation comments I linked. They aren't about whether the issues proposed legislation tries to address are serious or not.
It's a tech related political matter. Extremely tech related, and misguided based on assumptions about tech. You may think it is irrelevant but the average tech professional I am very sure does think it is relevant.
It's a proposed-bill post which is a poor fit for HN which, in turn, is why it's no longer on the front page. I did not say anything about it being 'irrelevant' or 'the average tech professional'. Again, this is explained in the linked moderation comments.
