The domain in parens next to the title says "medium.com", but the link is actually on "https://backchannel.com/how-india-pierced-facebook-s-free-in....

Curious how that happened.

Run: curl -IL https://medium.com/backchannel/how-india-pierced-facebook-s-...

It is because of a "301 Moved Permanently" response code. The URL shows as "medium.com", because thats the URL saved in the HN database. However when you open it, your browser follows the redirect.
