Ask HN: Why are articles critical of cryptocurrencies being flagged?

11 points

This article was on the front page just now: https://louwrentius.com/cryptocurrencies-are-detrimental-to-society.html

but got flagged for some unknown reason. I can only guess because it is strongly critical of cryptocurrencies.

Is flagging just community driven? As in, if an article gets flagged enough is it automatically taken down? Or does a mod have to step in?

If a mod has to step in, then why are they censoring articles critical of cryptocurrencies?
