This was not a simple configuration change but a manual, labor-intensive purge.

AI slop pattern.

Also the article appears to be completely unsourced. Here are what I believe to be the main sources:

No, I mean that the article appears to be AI slop. The "This was not X but Y" pattern is super common, and super annoying due to it's lack of brevity.
