I find it interesting how the url ends with "ietf_draft_proposes_encrypted_message_security_for_all", which is a lot better that the article's title: "Elders of internet hash out standards to grant encrypted message security for world+dog".

I'm willing to bet the one who chose the new title also chose the accompanying image.

The Register is known for having a tongue-in-cheek reporting style. It's definitely not for everyone.

Their headlines occasionally reach punny heaven. Like this one [1]

[1] "Super Cali goes ballistic: mugshot site atrocious" [ https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/05/17/mugshot_site_atroci... ]

Thanks! URLs are often sources of more neutral titles. We didn't see that one.

Right now, the actual title in the page is: "Elders of internet hash out standards to grant encrypted message security for world+dog".

Politicians can whine all they want, but they can't change standards as easily

If politicians put people in jail for implementing a standard, it doesn't much matter what the standard is. It's not like a new standard gets passed and then everyone clamoring to add backdoors into messaging systems I just going to throw their hands up in the air and give up.

Beat me to it.

By the way if you click YouTube's "Share" button, it gives you the option to add a particular time stamp to the URL
