They're counting on the 5 minute attention span factor. Certain politicians have used this successfully too. Say/do something just as you intend to, watch the level of outrage, walk it back, wait a while for the furor to abate as the next indignity takes over the news cycle, then circle back and proceed as intended while fewer people are paying attention.

People need to be smart enough to adapt to this new model and punish corporations for this underhanded approach accordingly.

Tall ask for the general public, but that's my hope.

They didn't even say that they won't go ahead with their plan, only that they'd never do it without giving the customers a proper warning and that they won't do it at once. Probably still gonna be implemented in the next few months.
