I'd say it would be good if the mods changed the submission title to something like "EU fines Qualcomm $1.2B over antitrust violations" or "Qualcomm fined $1.2B for violating EU antitrust regulations", since the article's title is almost egregiously wrong.
- antr 9y agothe mods should link to the Europen Commission website... not Techcrunch, which is a low-quality copy & paste: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-18-421_en.htm http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-18-421_en.htm
- peteey 9y agoThe mods should not do anything. The title of the post closely resembles the title of the article.
- anyfoo 9y agoThe mods on HN frequently editorialize submission titles if it makes the title more sensible, even if that means deviating from the original headline (which does not need to be the submission title in the first place). A good practice in my mind.
