I don't have much to say about this article, it's an opinion piece.

I did find it interesting that the URL is "digital-revolution-democracy-fake-news.html" but the headline (and title tag) is "Democracy Is Weakening Right in Front of Us"

I that some kind of SEO thing or did the title/headline change while the URL stays the same? Earlier there was just this discussion on "Investigating how the New York Times A/B tests their headlines" which made me wonder.

URLs never change when doing A/B testing because that would break a lot of things.

It's one of the reasons slugs tend to be more generic/SEO friendly.
