How is it clickbait?

A NATO official told Recorded Future News: “In an oversight, the event team responsible for NATO Edge 26 sent an email to conference participants that recommended the use of Yandex Go for local transport. This was corrected within the hour.”

Separately a NATO official told Kursetgjerde: “Following questions raised on data handling and technology dependencies, we have issued a corrigendum removing [Yandex Go] from the suggested transport options.”

Literally NATO themselves said: “the event team […] recommended the use of Yandex Go for local transport” and that they then “removed [it] from the suggested transport options” after the backlash.

I’m so sick of people crying “clickbait” at headlines when they don’t condense every nuance of a story into less than like 20 words or make a slightly poor wording choice on accident. The scope of the incompetence only barely changes between readings of the headline.

This is, at worst, a slightly poorly worded headline (because “get around” can simultaneously mean to navigate via the service and to physically ride in one of their taxis), where the current one reads:

NATO issues and then withdraws Russian taxi app travel advice for defense industry conference

Although yandex is on the sanctions list though, unless it doesn’t count on Turkey.
