I had recently submitted part 2 of a WSJ report about Jeffery Epstein's calendar including his meetings with Reid Hoffman. Part 1 was previously submitted to HN:

My post quickly went to the front-page where it mysteriously vanished. A few hours later it got tagged with [flagged] but that was after it had been manually removed from the front-page:

I know that YC does a lot of work with Hoffman so I was disappointed, but not surprised.

Fast forward to today and I see the official YC account actually promoting Hoffman:

So I think it's worth noting that this site is complicit with covering for Epstein's network and has direct relationships with it. Worth keeping in mind when you see what is and isn't allowed on HN.

EDIT: And now this post has been [flagged]. This seems like something we need to talk about a lot more on and off this site.
