Odd article title. They never made a claim on content. This version of the EULA is more clearly written, but the previous was sufficient.

I don't see what's odd about the article title. It says they clarified the EULA. People misread the original as if it made a claim on content, so the new EULA clarifies that this is not the case.

The "Excludes Claim on Content" part of the title implies that there was a claim on content before...

It implies that an exclusion wasn't present before, which is true. The EULA previously did not include a claim on content, but people were misreading it that way. So, as a point of clarification, they changed it to explicitly exclude a claim on content.

I see how you are reading "excludes a claim on content" as meaning a claim on content was removed. But what it actually means is that an exclusion of a claim on content was added.
