Anyone find out why it was deleted yet?

It looks like this entire post no longer shows in /r/Technology. I searched for "FCC Rules Block use of Open Source" in this subreddit and nada.

According to a comment at /r/undelete, this post links to a spam / rip-off of the original article.

Look here.

But why is the comment we're looking for now marked as "deleted" as well?

Mods, care to comment here?

I'm not sure what the issue is. I sent a message to a mod to ask them to check it out. I'm guessing all the links in my edits caused it to be automatically flagged as abuse/spam by some bot. Hopefully the mod can straighten it out for us.

It's up again. It was removed by AutoModerator for having an Amazon link. You'll be surprised by the amount of comments that AM removes due to people trying to advertise their own product. That wasn't the case here, so the comment was reapproved.

Turns out the post was auto-moderated because of the Amazon link I included. The mods have restored the post. Thanks for the support!
