Might want to correct the post title to 'New Cloudflare Pirate Site Blocking May Already Involve Thousands of Domains' as the current title leaves out some important information

Its failures only make me appreciate the weird HN title changing bot more. A ton of labor must go into manually tweaking titles all the time to make it work for what I'm sure is a strongly felt but ultimately very immaterial benefit compared to just structurally leaving titles unchanged.
For historical purposes, the title is now "New Cloudflare Pirate Site May Involve Domains. Big if true!

I would prefer the titles to be just left alone if we're not allowed to submit posts with titles that differ from the actual title of the item.

Also the fact that seems to be frequently missed with these titles is the HN guidelines specifically state that, except in cases of the original source having an editoralized title, the original title should be left as is
Edit: while im sure the 'may contain thousands of domains' could be considered editoralized, they provide a rational in the article for having come to that conclusion

Cloudflare isn’t going to exit doing business in the UK. Of course they are going to follow the court order. Effecting change in this case involves voting differently in the UK.
