One of them does it a lot more than the other too

Claiming that they only targeted fighters while the whole world can see they’re killing civilians … hmm … seems to be the standard PR response in that region.

Actual research disagrees with this propaganda

FTFY

Even if they do, the actual title is just a click away.

And I agree that it would make things less convenient, but honestly I absolutely hate news articles on social media because the algorithms literally mostly show you what they know you’ll find controversial. I believe that’s had a giant role with the radicalization of people over the last several years. So if it’s inconvenient, good! People shouldn’t really be getting their news from social media anyway.

Lowers the incentive for using outlandish, misleading headlines.

Forces people to click the link and go to the news outlets’ websites thereby giving local news better ad revenue.

Increases chances of people actually reading the article instead of making assumptions based on misleading titles.

Maybe I’m missing something but this seems like a good thing to me.
