Well, if John is correct, it's not too surprising that it is flagged...

I've noticed that being critical of Musk or Trump is a flag-magnet as well.. I guess either the owners of the site are cough "free-speech absolutists" or there's some concerted effort to prevent criticism of them - the former seems a lot more likely.




I'm pretty sure it's just individual people with enough karma doing a knee-jerk flagging on articles they don't like.

Would be nice if someone with access to the backend checked the flagging stats to see if there's a ring of people doing it.
