That&#x27;s a good reminder for developers in particular to AVOID being tied to any platform and being spread in multiple countries to remain free if one contry decide something against another hitting also innocents in the middle (think for instance about sizing of private citizens assets in case of war, some might have a role, others not at all but all are hit and that&#x27;s not a new thing).<p>Nothing wrong in using a free code hosting just to host code, many things are disasters waiting to happening depending on their infra for development.<p>For citizens it&#x27;s the same: we have countless of example of &quot;suspended accounts&quot; not ONLY for government requests, using BUT not depending on any specific third party is good, depending is a threat. Or the classic: using but not depending is free market, depending is monopoly etc.

The IT ministry sent a request to the coding platform to remove the derogatory page, after which the page has been&quot;<p>if the ministry sent a request, shouldnt this be here?

I forked a repo on GitHub. A few weeks later a DMCA take-down notice was issued against the repo (and all forks). Someone claimed the repo had stolen their copyrighted stuff.<p>Unfortunately, I couldn&#x27;t verify whether the claim was correct because I wasn&#x27;t provided with a copy of the original copyrighted material. So it wasn&#x27;t possible for me to tell if the DMCA was genuine or not. I suspect the DMCA claim was valid but it was impossible for me to tell.<p>GitHubs process around the DMCA did not fill me with joy.

What if a government requests Github to take down this repository itself?

Pretty hilarious that this repo has a code of conduct.<p>I am pretty sure the entities contributing takedown notices to this repository do not comply with it, nor do they care.

Unsurprisingly, Russia folder seems to have most “content”.<p>Has China fully blocked Github with their Great Firewall yet?
