    Before “highlighting tensions between platform governance and community power”

    After “Reddit moderators and users organize widespread protests against API pricing changes that also forced the shutdown of many third-party apps.”

    Why: This clause in the description is interpretive commentary rather than a factual statement of what happened — it frames the event's significance rather than describing an observable action.

    Unsupported claim

    Before “archiveDate: "2026-09-02"”

    After “archiveDate: "2023-06-12"”

    Why: The archiveUrl encodes a Wayback Machine timestamp of 20230612014356 (12 June 2023), and the source notes confirm the archived capture read was from 12 June 2023, but archiveDate was set to 2026-09-02 (the accessDate convention) rather than the actual capture date.
