Until they rehire the protesting employees they fired, they haven't.
Call me cynical, but I'd be willing to lay odds that this is mostly a marketing stunt. There are probably either alternative ways to accomplish the same things in their system, or what they've blocked aren't really major revenue-generating items anyway. Satya isn't about to kill the cash flow.
Thank goodness. I was worried that my opinion of them was going to have to start including some nuance.
In a world where very few things are binary and most things are spectrums, nuance is generally a good policy.
