Seriously, this incredibly misleading headline should get this post removed from HN.
Ever since the NSA story broke there seems to be a constant effort to post overly alarming headlines in the style of "look how much worse things are in places outside the US".
- mcintyre1994 13y agoCan you explain why the headline is miseading? The UK is at least as bad as the US because GCHQ and NSA have a special relationship, there's no plot here to make America look good.
- qwyck 13y agoFor me the headline, whilst technically true, was slightly misleading because "Chinese firm Huawei controls UK net filter" suggests a UK-wide net filter that Huawei controls. Whereas the BBC article headline of "Chinese firm Huawei controls net filter praised by PM" does not suggest that.
- mcintyre1994 13y agoHmm that's true, "Chinese firm Huawei to control proposed UK net filter" would probably be best if it fits. I think this is more of a proposal (albeit one he sees as de facto happening) by the PM than something he's praising.
