## What Jamie wrote

This is the followup to [another article](https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/10/16/gitlab_employees_gagged/) highlighting the change being made to policies at Gitlab. Just one day later another article and a reversal of the policy change highlighted in the first article. These matters are complicated and right or wrong, it seems like Gitlab's initial action was poorly planned and executed.
