Slightly inaccurate? The headline is grossly incorrect. Beheading a 16-year-old is materially different from beheading a 21-year-old. The appalling possibility of a kid being executed is what made me click on the story in the first place.
And now my comment calling out the OP for creating a misleading headline is at -4 points. If HN is going to be a Facebook-like shithole of clickbait now, that's fine, but in that case I would appreciate it if someone could send me a lobste.rs invite so that I can keep ahead of the expanding event horizon of stupidity.
- ceejayoz 7y agoThe headline is slightly inaccurate, but the point remains the same. It's a travesty that someone's being beheaded for non-violent actions they performed as a child.

It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.
- addicted 7y agoThe headline is inaccurate. The correct headline would be “16 year old child tortured and made to confess to sending WhatsApp texts, and then beheaded 5 years later for confessing to sending WhatsApp texts as a child while being tortured. Also, 16 year old was tortured”.
