Headline is a bit inflammatory, no?

Headline: "Google and Facebook are lying about privacy!" Content: "Ok, _technically_ they weren't lying"

There's a distinction between technical truth and being candid. It's like saying that Hitler was a war hero who managed to kill a key nazi leader - technically true, but deliberately misleading.
