    The real headline:

    Over 170,000 Nonprofits Lost All Their Data. Is Microsoft to Blame?

    Not sure if Slate is A/B testing or if OP clickbait-ified the post title

      Checked the source code, looks like we’re dealing with three different titles here:

      <title>Microsoft made a quiet change to a popular software grant. Small nonprofits lost everything.</title>

<meta property="og:title" content="The Quiet Decision Microsoft Made That Devastated Thousands of Nonprofits" />

<h1 itemprop="headline" class="article__hed article__hed--" >Over 170,000 Nonprofits Lost All Their Data. Is Microsoft to Blame?</h1>

      I took the title lemmy suggested after I pasted the URL into the Create Post page.

      Maybe it should read “170,000 nonprofits having to invoke their data restoration strategies and now in the market for ethical cloud providers, after Microsoft predictably lets them down”.
