      Journalists, if you write articles on security you need to understand that what you say can put lives at risk.

      That's what false scaremongering about privacy is like. Polio, almost eradicated, is still around because it survived in Pakistan-Peshawar.

      don't do it as a controversy piece; do it as what the coverage should have said in the first place

      Doesn't undo any damage. They should retract. They pushed the story so hard.

          I do understand your PoV, but it's less likely, especially as they've already changed wording in the piece

          I know it's shifting the burden of doing the work away from them; but it's also a potentially good platform to explain the issue
