Why is this flagged? Surely one of the most influential people in the tech space (and the richest man in the world) doing a nazi salute is pertinent to Hacker News?

>>johnet+e3
Mostly like because of the comments likely to (and already) ensue

Also people just don't want to hear about it on HN when it is all over the media already

Everybody has excuses.

And you don't actually "hear" people discussing in threads you don't click on. I don't want to hear about Apple, ever, nothing they do or make interests me, or ever will. Yet I wouldn't dream of curtailing others discussing that stuff.

HN is community moderated and generally aims to keep an amount of decorum.

Look at all the comments here. If a story leads to the comments here, it almost always gets flagged to discourage further unproductive commentary
