Why this is better
Two corrections: the Snapchat redesign backlash/petition/Kylie tweet/market-cap drop occurred in February 2018, not September 2018; and YouTube's co-founder is named Jawed Karim, not Javed Karim. Verified the live article body already reflects both corrections consistently throughout. The faq field does not reference the date or the co-founder's name, so no secondary fix was needed there.
