You should remove this altogether; it's definitely a prank. These two people didn't actually work at Twitter, and as of right now there haven't been any layoffs

  It's a real story that CNBC reported a fake story, and that's all the updated title says. (Actually, I don't know what the title says because I see two different titles. In Feedly it says "CNBC reporting that..." but here on this page it says "Departing Twitter employees...". If the title was updated to be correct, I'd expect the Feedly copy to be old and this copy to be current. I'd also generally expect an aggregator (Feedly) to be less authoritative and less current than the source (HNn), yet in this case the Feedly title is correct and what I see right here in my browser on a phone is incorrect, or rather, not updated anyway. So, thanks to the existence of editing and unknown caching in unknown places/layers, I have no way to say what the title even is, and so no way to say if it's correct or not.)

    It's not; the title says CNBC reported layoffs have started; not that CNBC fell for a hoax. There is literally zero other backing for "layoffs have started"; not anonymous sources, not official sources, not CNBC investigations. The entire basis for this was that hoax. @dang should delete this. The entire article is false and will need to be retracted.

      The fact that CNBC reported something, is a fact. That is it's own real story. Forget Twitter.
