Not just clickbait, the title is maliciously wrong.
The article is about Apple holding developers conferences with cops with the purpose of developing apps tailored to them, there’s nothing about users privacy.
A business trying to enter a new market, what a weird concept eh?
Took me several reads of the headline to start with.
Then connecting it to the article contents, at least this is “accurate clickbait” (if there is such a thing). It actually describes what’s going on, we just interpret it differently initially because of current circumstance (which I suppose you could say is the fldefinition of clickbait).
Still clickbait, but at least it’s not an outright lie like so many, just worded to make us want to click!
I’m a bit chagrined to have been taken in by the extreme interpretation of the headline, when the milder interpretation (in a different climate) would be inoffensive.
Ffs, how far have we come when I’m showing appreciation for a clickbait headline’s milder interpretation is accurate enough to not be a lie, but just attention-grabbing?
