What I mean context is not the article, but the title as a whole. I don't think Firefox is going to announce "our CEO traffics with data, so we are no longer working with our privacy partner". If verge or somebody else speculated that's the reason, I would expect the title to include " Y person thinks/told".
It's like "Judge sentences rapist to death after raping a child" and "Judge sentences rapist to death after careful consideration". The context of the sentence itself makes it think that the rape was performed by the sentenced, and the consideration by the judge. They could be switched and be technically correct, but would be a very unusual way of wording.
I don't think this title is specially clickbaity or malicious. Specially given this is the fucking Verge.
But again, might be how my brain is wired to read a foreign language.
Oh! I think I see what you mean now. I think I get it.
