I think political news are not encouraged here, exceptions for when interesting discussions are possible.

Judging by the quality of comments here and in the linked submissions, it's a good thing.

It’s definitely not political news. I don’t see any guideline term that it violated.

What's going on at the moment isn't politics and that's why it's being discussed so heavily.

No, it is politics. Apple stopped advertising on X over politics, not technical reasons. The Democrat-run media has successfully convinced a large number of highly conformist individuals that we've got another Hitler on our hands, and a lot of these people opine about their paranoia extensively on HN.
