There are quite a few comments below complaining about the headline - happy to change it, but I'm in a meeting trying to figure out more about >>46301921 for the next bit.

Can someone suggest a better title? Better here means "accurate and neutral, and preferably using representative language from the article".

"Independent review of UK national security law warns of overreach" - this, apart from the addition of "UK", is verbatim from the article and much more accurately describes the event being reported.

Ok, let's use that. Thanks!

This, btw, is exactly what we look for when doing a title replacement:

> verbatim from the article and much better describes the event being reported

That's what I usually call "representative language from the article" (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...). The idea is not to invent new wordings, but rather to find the place where the article 'confesses' what it is really about.
