The title is > French companies benefiting from state aid can't buy back shares You stated "That's a false statement" However it is in fact a true statement, since a law is effectively passed to forbid the very thing the post title describes. Hence stating "That's a false statement" is "strictly false", and quoting a part of an article that explains that the exact thing you're quoting is now outdated doesn't make it less false somehow. If you want to mean that companies "can" still buy back shares, although it's now illegal, well, that's just refusing to give the post title an honest interpretation of what it means.
