The core of the story has to be technology focused.
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
1. English only

You leave your fingerprints on everything you touch. Fingerprints should never be used as the only authentication factor for anything important.
including your phone.
You can't be compelled to give up a passcode or password, but you can be compelled to scan your face or use a fingerprint.
Yes but if you shut off your phone, your fingerprints won't unlock it unless you provide your pin/password. Apple has the ability to do this by clicking the power button 5 times quickly. You can also hold the power and one of the volume buttons for a few seconds to get the same effect. You should always do this if you encounter authorities.
FWIW, on iOS Face ID is marginally better for this than Touch ID because it requires you to make eye contact with the camera before it unlocks. If you look to the side it won’t accept the biometrics.
But it’s still not as secure as a regular password or pin in terms of forced compliance.
