A deliberately misleading title to farm clicks. I've flagged the post for this. A plain title would be "two senators want to change section 230 to ban 'misinformation' on social networks".
- yonaguska 5y agoI agree, but I'd rather this conversation happen than not. I think the readers of HN are smart enough to reach this conclusion, regardless of the headline.
- dtjb 5y agoEvery editor knows that the headline shapes the conversation more than the article.
- hirako2000 5y agoThen it is to be renamed. Worth posting, but many of us don't read content of news outlet.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoWell, two senators proposed a bill that would suspect 230. To fix the headline, I would just change "suspends" to "would suspend". The bill would do that... if it passed.
