It's not incorrect if it is only true for a (in this case, large) subset of people.
The now changed title completely misses the point of this submission, and is not more correct or less editorialized than the original one. I would prefer if it were restored, the "today" could get removed to cover that it will happen later for Pro Accounts. If memory serves me right it would be something like "Dropbox disables Public folder". That is what happens.
I agree. I would recommend "(2012, 2017)" to succinctly clarify that this is somehow relevant to right now and that further investigation is needed.
Note: I have flagged the parent comment so that it shows up for the moderators (and also upvoted it to counteract the impact of flagging). So, nobody else needs to flag it - if too many people do so it might go [dead].
I'm talking about the article title as shown here. If it said "Dropbox accounts created after Oct. 2012 won't have a public folder (2012; 2017)" or perhaps "... (2017)" then readers would be able to go "okay, what's this, it has this year in it, what gives" and click it. You're only able to know about Sep 1st once you actually open the article, which in its current form seems to talk about an event from 5 years ago.
