Don't you think after 5 months without oversight who exactly has access to that server that the difference between this and a random s3 bucket is nearly nil? But you are right, in the light of integrity the title should reflect the facts as they present themselves currently.

I do, yes, it's blazingly stupid and others have been jailed for less.

But I've noticed a number of misleading post titles recently, like the just today there was obe about a cyclist getting hit by a car when it was actually the cyclist turning into traffic. Tragic, but the title misleads. So I've started pointing them out.

Maybe I just long for the days when titles aren't rewritten to drive opinion and engagement (regardless of if I agree or disagree).
