Headline is a bit inflammatory, no?
Headline: "Google and Facebook are lying about privacy!"
Content: "Ok, _technically_ they weren't lying"
- notacoward 6y agoExactly. If the author admits that those weren't actually lies, then the headline itself is a lie.
- Qwertious 6y agoThere's a distinction between technical truth and being candid. It's like saying that Hitler was a war hero who managed to kill a key nazi leader - technically true, but deliberately misleading.
