The article’s title is “New US Bill would require makers of encrypted devices to leave a backdoor” which reads much less like propaganda than the current HN headline of “Senators propose lawful access to encrypted data.”
- xigency 6y agoDoes it? I’m not sure I see a material difference, but maybe it’s because I know the context of US government snooping.
- throwaway_pdp09 6y agoThere's no material difference but a huge one in presentation, and also in detail: the second says what, the first says how.
- 8bitsrule 6y agoThe two titles frame the actual issue in completely different ways. People get paid to do just that.
- eyelidlessness 6y agoBoth titles are accurate-but-biased representations of the same subject matter. I agree with your bias, but I think it's a mistake to identify one as propaganda and not the other. This is something we should be biased about, and it's okay to embrace that.
- Multicomp 6y agoHey there. OP here. I submitted that particular title since I was on mobile and in a hurry, so I converted the URL of 'http://www.androidauthority.com/lawful-access-to-encrypted-data-1132922' http://www.androidauthority.com/lawful-access-to-encrypted-d... with two words such that the title would be a grammatically correctish sentence. No editorialization intended and if I had more time I would have opened a separate tab to load the article, then copy/pasted the article title. Mods, feel free to correct the title as needed.
