After two weeks with resources from pokestops cut by a third it's back to normal again. As of now the affected minority of players is no longer discriminated.
Notably Niantic hasn't admitted that anything happened in the first place, so rather obviously they didn't confirm it has been fixed.
Counting on a large community of players to be incapable of noticing patterns, however, is a very dangerous thing to do for a company that relies on a single product for its survival.
With their latest stunt more or less any remnant of trust in Niantic customer transparency has gone out the window. It'll take a very long time, if ever, to regain that kind of lost goodwill.
To make things worse Niantic timed this idiocy with the release of a rip-off game. That market competitor couldn't possibly have created a better marketing event themselves.
