Particularly appropriate comment since in this case, everyone in the EU has had this for months, and the UK would as well if it hadn't Brexited. https://about.fb.com/news/2024/11/facebook-and-instagram-to-...

I feel your frustration, only 100 times over as nearly every title on HN is missing the: ...in the US

IMHO that's exactly why every article needs an unambiguous location and date right at the top.

The Times is a UK newspaper with a British audience. I agree the HN title is disingenuous though.

Yup, just didn’t want people outside the Uk to get hopeful at all :)

I wouldn’t call it disingenuous. It’s the published title (i.e. not editorialised for HN) and accurate enough for its intended audience.

Opting for a .com domain vs a .co.uk doesn't help.

Especially with a lot of UK papers printing "US editions" now - even the goddamn BBC redirects me to a "US news" site when I attempt to access BBC News. If I wanted US-centric news the BBC is probably the last place I'd check but I guess clicks and ad revenue reign supreme.

... and probably not even in the UK :)

Just another clickbait title, please move along.
