Violation of Accuracy and Privacy

The title for the British Vogue article under google search actually say “Artist (And, Yes, Keanu Reeves's Girlfriend) Alexandra Grant” but when you click on the article, the title is “Alexandra Grant on Finding Love with Keanu Reeves & Her Upcoming Marfa Invitational Exhibition.” Wonder if the actual article doesn't have the word “girlfriend” and the word girlfriend is also not in the text as @BritishVogue is trying to cover their behind based on the “the Editor's Code of Practice” because an article portraying Alexandra Grant as Keanu Reeves girlfriend is a violation of 1) accuracy and 2) privacy.

So hypothetically if a certain con artist were to claim to be the girlfriend of a certain Hollywood celebrity and a news outlet were to publish an article about their fictitious relationship, then an editor would be responsible for both printing a retraction of that article and also issuing a public apology to the actor whose privacy was infringed upon?

I wish Giles Hattersley @gileshattersley @louisquinze @oemarks would help us understand this topic and what the SEO game is being played as google title showed the word girlfriend but the title and text of the article does not have it.
