YC can definitely also flag stories. This was just removed from the front page even though it wasn't flagged. They need to keep this alive if they want any shred of credibility.
It was flagged for a short while but someone probably vouched for it (another feature you get after a certain karma). The existing flags probably adds a downweight to it.
While not yet flagged, this submission how now been removed from the HN front page where it reached #6. It's the responsibility of this site to keep this story from being censored.
