HN frequently discusses topics concerning civil liberties.

And if don't express certain viewpoints, you're downvoted to oblivion. I wouldn't mind a filter for these types of articles (every other website on the world is already discussing the police+victim story of the month), and you can't ever side with the police here.

Is religion blocked here? God forbid we discuss that.

I see that. I guess I should send all my political friends to HN to post more such articles and comments cause where else but a place called "Hacker News" would one do that? I mean, I know I came here for just such topics.

This is rehashed often. It's "news that hackers would find interesting" not "news about computers".

If an article does not gratify your intellectual curiosity, I suggest just ignoring it.
