You are of the opinion that the granting of a police power does not necessarily mean it will be used? I would like to suggest you familiarize yourself with the history of how police powers generally work.
As to your second point... If this article instead contained a brief mention of how a tech company had shared personal information of anti-Olympic protesters with the London police, would you still flag it because that was not the main point of the article?
- mattmaroon 17y agoThis is a straw man. I wasn't commenting on whether the power is right or wrong or will or will not be used. I was commenting on the editorialized and misleading title. It says "Police to..." as if they have announced plans to or something. More appropriate would be "Police granted right to..." One's accurate, one is linkbait (or here, commentbait). I'd flag anything that has a title that I feel is baiting.
