I thought people on HN weren’t supposed to change the headlines? The NYT headline is completely different and contains nothing saying that Weibo was backing down. Is HN just another fake China apologist now when it comes to changing headlines?

We've changed the title. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16855849 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16855849. On another note: a username of the form "recognizable_person_is_evil" crosses into personal attack, which isn't allowed on HN. You may not owe better to billionaires, but you owe better to this community than to break its rules with every post. So I've banned this account. Account renaming, which we'll have soon, would be a more elegant solution, but it's not ready yet.
