The way I read it on the article, with punctuation, I don’t think it was necessarily intended like that? It’s in parentheses “Microsoft (GitHub)”. I don’t read Spanish fluently, though, so perhaps I’m not grasping it entirely. It felt like they were just adding context.
- giancarlostoro 7y ago> Microsoft (GitHub) blocks the Tsunami Democràtic to avoid the issues of their 'app' Is how I'd translate it and depending on who you are, you might just ignore the GitHub bit if you have no idea who that is and just assume Microsoft's doing this outright. It is confusing, but the subtitle specifically calls GitHub a service owned by Microsoft. They then mention since when Microsoft has owned GitHub, which I'm not sure how accurate it is or isn't. Is it wholly owned by Microsoft at this time? Though as others have said, it's an existing policy.
- freeone3000 7y agoYes, GitHub is 100% owned by Microsoft. The date in the article is correct.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoThanks, I wasn't sure the state of the buyout.
- wayoutthere 7y agoIn the first paragraph, they say "GitHub, the service owned by Microsoft since June 2018, has begun to block access to the repository that hosts the web page and the application from Spain."
- hiccuphippo 7y agoThe article is aimed at regular people who's probably not familiar with GitHub but surely know Microsoft. Maybe they should have written it "GitHub (Microsoft)" instead.
- hnuser77 7y agoIt would be more clear for everyone to call it Microsoft Github at all times.
