I meant the headline of the Hacker News post, not the headline of the article. The original Hacker News post headline was "China forces its Muslim minority to install spyware on their phones", which is incorrect in the sense it implies that China is forcing all its Muslims to install spyway on their phones.
- libeclipse 9y agoThat's the same as the headline on the article itself.
- logicchains 9y agoThe article headline is slightly different: it's: "China's forcing citizens in Muslim-majority region to install spyware on their phones" Note the "Muslim-majority region", which was missing from the original HN title.
- em3rgent0rdr 9y agoThanks for clearing up this mystery. Yeah, to me the original article headline was just fine. I think there is a bit of a problem when HN users change headlines when posting articles...cutting even a little bit can change the meaning significantly.
- em3rgent0rdr 9y agoIt seems that mashable changed their headline, because I get "China’s forcing citizens in Muslim-majority region to install spyware on their phones" when I visit what appears to be a cached crawler copy at http://www.pipiscrew.com/2017/07/chinas-forcing-citizens-in-muslim-majority-region-to-install-spyware-on-their-phones/ http://www.pipiscrew.com/2017/07/chinas-forcing-citizens-in-... but when I visit the article itself, I see a different headline.
