- amysox 2y agoEspecially since NYT is paywalled and Ars is not.

- jdenning 2y agoThis is a valid question -- any response from mods?
- xracy 2y agoThere is another comment that answers "why" I assume dang doesn't have the time to answer all of these individually. But tl;dr it's in the guidelines for posting on the site why this happened.
- 93po 2y agoif i had to guess: NYT was the original source of the news and Ars is just reporting on NYT reporting. Or alternatively, Ars is frequently really slanted and disingenuous to the point of dishonesty fairly often
- StackRanker3000 2y agoI’m guessing this is the article you submitted: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/04/eu-may-make-an-example-of-x-by-issuing-1-billion-fine-to-musks-social-network/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/04/eu-may-make-an-e... This is the first sentence in it, which links to the New York Times article the submission was changed to: > European Union regulators are preparing major penalties against X, including a fine that could exceed $1 billion, according to a New York Times report yesterday. These are the Hacker News guidelines (you’ve been on here for 18 years, perhaps time to give them a read): https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html > Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter. This isn’t creepy, this is in line with the rules.
