Pegasus and NSO.

(Edit: of course I'm flagged for this. Surprise surprise)

I spend way too much time on HN, and having seen how often flags are abused or simply used too liberally, I think they are way too over powered. A lot of good discussion gets killed by flags right it of the gate. Sometimes it gets vouched and redeemed, but the vast majority of the time the damage is done and that comment or story languishes in obscurity.

The comment doesn't really say anything and the commenter is not saying they edited the comment to make it just non-substantive rather than non-substantive and inflammatory.

You were probably flagged because your comments are consistently of low quality.

You're being downvoted because you made a three-word comment that adds nearly nothing to the discussion on a site that hopes to entice meaningful discourse. Trying to play the victim on top of that is just silly.
