No one is purporting to decide what's suitable for you personally. It's a question of what belongs on the HN front page. If the speculation were coming from a known source, this might be a harder call. But an anonymous pastebin that no one has any evidence for? That falls below any standard. So what you're really saying is that HN should have no editors at all, and that's not how HN has ever worked.
This was a good call. eBay has just officially denied that the user data is theirs [1], and there are claims online that the data was from a separate previous breach [2]. This is almost definitely a scam.
