The article talks about showing warnings when accessing misstyped URLs, not "killing URLs."

Nothing in the article I've read suggests they're doing anything of the kind. What a bunch of clickbait bs.

If you search this HN comments page, you'll find 3-4 other people claiming the same thing.

This article is an insult to news reporting.

Yes, I was very confused by the title as well. The introduction briefly talks about "changing the way site identity is presented" but after that it talks about just flagging suspicious URLs. Nothing in there about actually "killing" them.
