To the mods: Why was my link to arstechnica hijacked and transformed into a link to the NYTimes? This is creepy.

I’m guessing this is the article you submitted: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/04/eu-may-make-an-e...

This is the first sentence in it, which links to the New York Times article the submission was changed to:

> European Union regulators are preparing major penalties against X, including a fine that could exceed $1 billion, according to a New York Times report yesterday.

These are the Hacker News guidelines (you’ve been on here for 18 years, perhaps time to give them a read): https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

> Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter.

This isn’t creepy, this is in line with the rules.
