Ok, Business Insider was using the leak, fair enough. However, Business Insider did so in a derivative work and an article that praises Evan Spiegel. They demonstrated non-zero integrity by trying to positively steer the conversation over the leaked data.

I don't think there's a strong enough consensus on the leaked data to warrant flagging. Certainly legitimate to downvote the link, but a flagging should require communal consensus on a position, no?



Sure, okay. As far as HN, flagging is the only way to say something may be inappropriate for the front page - you can't downvote links :)
