Article title: "A policy proposal on our approach to deepfake tools and responsible AI" (current submission: "GitHub policy proposal to ban projects used to create deepfakes")

I'm sorry if the title might seem misleading, but I've based it on the actual PR [1], which says "GitHub does not allow any projects that are designed for, encourage, promote, support, or suggest in any way the use of synthetic or manipulated media for the creation of non-consensual intimate imagery or any content that would constitute misinformation or disinformation under this policy.". Notice the explicit "does not allow".

Should I still change it to the original?

It's a proposal (from the byline): We’re asking for feedback on a proposed Acceptable Use Policy update to address the use of synthetic and manipulated media tools for non-consensual intimate imagery and disinformation while protecting valuable research. It's a PR for comment, not a policy.

My current title does state that it is just a proposal, but fair enough, I'll update the title to the original one.

HN guidelines[0] request the original: Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize. (A blog post, preferably by you, with a title that matches your opinion is fair game)
