This story has been discussed in dozens of HN threads and many thousands of comments, but it's off topic in a Who Is Hiring thread; please see the rules at the top.
Sorry for breaking the rule, but IMO but this rule is kind of ridiculous. Are you at all concerned about job posts containing blatant falsehoods being allowed to persist on the site without comment?
The rule prevents the job threads, which large numbers of users find highly valuable, from falling apart into long threaded debates. Nothing prevents you from writing a post about the blatant falsehoods in a job posting here and submitting it as its own story. You just can't do it on these threads. This is an old rule, it markedly improved the Who's Hiring threads, and it's unlikely that this particular company's story is going to change it. (But I'm just a rando that knows the history here.)
