There are also a ton of ongoing news stories and stories in that past which were completely censored off HN. I cannot talk about them or link them here, but please know that they exist.

What if you create an article listing all of them, submit it to HN and post a link here in the comment? I routinely check dead links to see why a few people found it so controversial to censor it. I'd say 80% are true positives - spam, SEO junk, or some utter nonsense. The remaining 20% is content that is controversial to some people for some reasons. I learned quite a lot from it. There are days when this censored content is more interesting than top submissions.

I also happened to submit one such article somehow. I found an article on BBC saying things that are controversial today. It was flagged very quickly. It was interesting to me because BBC is a relatively reputable source and they don't publish junk.
