Clickbait title. ~~downvoted.~~
How is it a clickbait title?
Instead of stating the obvious that microsoft deleted data, it's hiding it in a mysterious "decision". Making user click through it to find out what they actually did.
I suppose that’s fair. I’m so desensitized that this doesn’t seem as bad by comparison; but I don’t want to discourage anyone from calling it out. My educated guess from when I first read the title turned out to be right, so it didn’t register that way for me initially. But you’re right, in the end. It’s a massive problem right now, it’s hard to get away from it enough as a consumer.
It's a hard one. Because i also dislike Microsoft for what they did and want to upvote for visibility.
Make a report. IMO all news articles should have the original title as the post title.
