Again, the original title was "Flawed reporting about WhatsApp". I'm a frequent reader of this kind of news but I seem to have forgotten that it was the Guardian that caused this kerfluffle. The OP's title is accurate to the content while giving much needed context. The original title makes it seems like the article is about "flawed reporting" in general, which is incorrect.

That literally doesn't matter.

The submitter is editorializing.
But also from the HN guidelines:
"If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did."
I'm under the impression that this refers to the primary point of the comment. But fair enough. I have removed the part of the comment where I indicated I flagged this submission for editorializing in the title.

I think we all agree that the submitter changed the title. "Editorializing" is tendentious / slanted, but ok, they editorialized.
I think we all know what is written in HN rules.
So what, I like the title. I don't think anybody should do anything about it. I think we should all take it easy and enjoy an interesting article.
