I know we are desperate for content here on Lemmy, and I can google hate circle jerk with the best of them, but maybe just delete the post if it is a complete clickbait lie… you could also reword the post as a fact check, ‘no, google isn’t injecting adds into maps.’
Sure, I could. But I wanted to leave the original post as it was for transparency. I figured that was the most "open" thing to do.
You can edit titles on Lemmy, make say "BS journalists throwing google under the bus to get more ad revenue from google ads."
Fair enough, but reading the comments it appears your edit isn’t explicit enough, or people just read the headlines I guess.
