Posts like this are a great test for whether people read the article (or even the first paragraph) before commenting.
The first paragraph:
Hell, even the URL.
Yeah I just figure UI can factor into that a bit more, like some apps don't show it.
it appears decision upheld the right to privacy, even though some, perhaps dissenting, judges and prosecutor made the headline's argument.
As if misleading headlines are the audience's fault.
Would this title be misleading if it was about the US Supreme Court?
And in any case the point is YES as an audience we need to make sure we know what we're commenting on. It's basically your one job as an audience member - think critically about what you're reading. Otherwise you get whatever hell Facebook is.
Given that everyone's first assumption is that it's about the US Supreme Court, obviously no. You have to meet people where they are.
Even for domestic US news, the same shit happens for state versus federal governments. Sometimes on websites that namedrop cities and politicians but don't bother mentioning what fucking state they're in.
Do you honestly think that everyone outside the US sees the words "Supreme Court" in a news article title and automatically thinks its the US Supreme Court instead of the Supreme Court for their own country?
I think the majority of Lemmy users are American or expect American news to dominate. The thing you're complaining about only happens because of that.
