Well it says in the title, so….

We are at the point where people don't even read the entire headline.

the title doesn't explain shit. Sure it's a "tool for election integrity observer" but that's barely an explanation. Incredibly broad. Can still be a lot of things. Sounds as if Facebook is guarding the entire election

CrowdTangle is Meta's tool for election integrity, they're shutting it down without a replacement.

Don't encourage the behaviour. As the saying goes... Give a man a fish and you've fed him for a day... Teach a man to fish and you've fed him for life.

Or to quote Terry Pratchett:

Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day; set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Fool me once, shame on me, but teach a man to fool me and I'll be fooled for the rest of my life.

I read the title but that barely says anything. It's extremely broad
