I'm sure someone is typing a reply along the lines of "yeah but they're going to re-implement parts of it"

yes of course they are but it is a huge L for them that they put out something so fucking bad that they had to rescind the entire thing

They also fucked up by revealing and overplaying their hand. Lot of people will now be more alert for it.

It’s an L but not that huge. They’ve successfully neutered a bunch of other departments with nary a peep from anyone. And they’ll break many more. This one just got all the attention.
