Ask HN: Why does every Wikileaks article/question get flagged?

3 points by blairanderson ↗ HN
I remember a few years back that Wikileaks news would reach the front page. Now they're all flagged. What gives?

Several Wikileaks articles have been on the front page over the last few days. Here's a search of the most popular ones from the last week:

Many of the ones that get flagged are essentially duplicates of articles that have been previously discussed, and provide no new information.
