Is there anyone monitoring US government websites for deletion of pages beyond what people may notice in an ad hoc way? I feel like this should be automated.
> Elon Musk, who owns X, recently tweeted that he was going to “fix” the platform’s AI assistant Grok after it cited research that showed right-wing violence was more common than left-wing violence: “My apologies, we are fixing this cringe idiocy by Grok,” he said.

I understand why it's hard to make AI that's accurate, but Musk's elite engineers can't even make it push a preferred narrative consistently. Sounds like it should be a much easier problem to solve.

I think this is not too surprising? Both the result and the action of hiding it?

From my understanding, right-wing usually means more pro-gun. If you already have guns, the threshold for terrorist actions is likely lower.

Other than the Weather Underground, I'm having trouble thinking of left wing groups.

Non-american here: if you get to the point where you want to kill another person or groups of people, it doesn't really matter whether you are left/right/pink/blue/whatever. You are unwell. To blame an entire group for one person's mental break is silly. You have no idea what is in another person's head, what their beliefs are, which of those beliefs are conflicting with each other. You might as well say that because the person ate pizza on the day, that we should blame and ban italian pizza places. Silly.

I live in a very broken country too, but our people are not shooting up random places/people. We have many guns too, so we cannot attribute it to that.

I think the kind of person that is willing to kill others (in the american sense, shootings), typically are highly suicidal but since they are able to blame the society or some aspect of society, they come to the conclusion to not commit suicide but to rather attack the system as a final punishment / giving up moment or to assert that they have some form of control. They ofcoarse find no relief there either.

Meanwhile your media and politician use these people as scape goats and cheerleaders for their own agendas. Disgusting in its own right.

On HN there was another post about DOJ going against the guy who made the anti-ICE app: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44496458 and it's also flagged, which is a pity.

This book might be relevant for those trying to understand why and how fascists attempt to control the narrative by suppression of the free press, erasure of documents, and nowadays hiding and flagging posts on social media and popular RSS feeds: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/207294076-erasing-histor...

The party insists that political violence, by definition, requires a suitable leftist minority identity to apply.

Any violence by a member of the party is just sparkling patriotism.

Since 1975, right-wing terrorists have killed 5.5x as many people as left-wing terrorists.
Robert Fico, Donald Trump, Charlie Kirk, Solomon Pena, Fumio Kishida, Andriy Parubiy, Alejo Vidal-Quadras Roca, Shinzo Abe, Jair Bolsonaro...

All of them represents of right orientated politics and are a victims of assassination in recent years.

Jair Bolsonaro is still alive at least according to mainstream media, do you have any links to where he was killed in an assassination?
Are these flagged posts just buried if you're not using Algolia/API to view HN?

Glad that I am using the former.
