The line you quoted is specifically clarifying what they will be doing moving forward, which is blocking connections from sanctioned countries. Their post as a whole is their apology for the prior method, which did deactivate accounts.
- chatmasta 8y agoRight, and their blog post also says that after de-activating accounts, they have restored access to some of them. So what about all the accounts they banned but have not unbanned? What if one of those accounts has only ever connected from an embargoed country, but travels in the future to a non-embargoed country? Will it be able to use Slack? (Put another way, it seems like they’re saying some accounts remain de-activated. So which is it? Accounts are de-activated or IP addresses are blocked?)
- akerl_ 8y agoThat’s a hedge in case they missed somebody. If they said “we unbanned all the accounts” but via a search error they’d missed one, and that person commented “no, liars, I’m still banned”, it would be a whole new round of controversy. So instead they say that they got most of them and if they missed you, ping their support team and they’ll fix it.
