Despite being technically correct, "Binance continued serving Iranians despite sanctions" doesn't imply "Binance stopped serving Iranians and later caught more that fell through the cracks". I would definitely have gotten marked down in school if I submitted an article where the headline was such inaccurate summary of the story.
It's not even like there's nothing to be seen! "Binance may have turned a blind eye to and encouraged VPN usage" would have been a much better summary!

They are to be taken exactly as written, since they are designed to be displayed as one liners in a financial terminal, like in this image: https://i.insider.com/4bc623be7f8b9a2b3a870500 https://i.insider.com/4bc623be7f8b9a2b3a870500 They actually put a lot of work into their titles.
