Is there any evidence that this change was the result of external pressure from Facebook, rather than as the result of internal NYT editing?
Articles frequently change in content, titles, and so on after publication, after all - that's why HN has to update titles so frequently.
Edit: Whoops, missed it the first read-through. Looks like the change was confirmed by the original reporter to be as the result of a request from the Facebook PR team.
