This is worse than click bait; the headline is a falsehood designed to provoke outrage. WF is NOT arguing that customers are bound by forged signatures, despite what this headline implies. This is Fake News making the rounds. Good job HN.
with that said, I think if you suggested an alternative title (under your handle or a different one) that better reflects the contents of the article, the mods would be inclined to change it. They often do - and clickbait titles are explicitly against HN policy :)
so go ahead and make a suggested title change, under your current or a different HN name. thanks.
As for my username, that's your call: ban it or don't. I'll call out fake stories with this account or some other either way.

At the very least, link to the original Reuters article, and make a note to quit giving BoingBoing hits.
