>The real question is: is a repo purge going to follow from their internal purge? Will they start deleting projects with diverging political views? They've already done that. https://github.com/FeministSoftwareFoundation/C-plus-Equalit... However, they continue to host a mirror of it: https://github.com/ErisBlastar/cplusequality Not sure why they didn't allow the "official" one but allow the mirror. Guess they just wanted the ability to say they took it down for PR purposes.
In GitHub is undergoing a full-blown overhaul as execs and employees depart
I would request you to refrain from personal attacks. I don't know if it was a ToS takedown at all. Look at what the page[1] says -- "Access to this repository has been disabled by GitHub staff. Contact support to restore access to this repository." Geek Feminism's wiki [2] says "Misogynist C Plus Equality satire project announced and repositories were created on GitHub and BitBucket, with commits impersonating various geek feminists. GitHub removed it quickly." without mentioning a reason. [1] https://github.com/FeministSoftwareFoundation/C-plus-Equalit...
In GitHub's 2014 Transparency Report
I apologize for commenting on my own link, but I am somewhat shocked that GitHub removed this repo https://github.com/FeministSoftwareFoundation/C-plus-Equalit... presumably after receiving criticism for it on twitter. https://twitter.com/search?src=typd&q=github.com%2FFeministS... Examining the fork on BitBucket, I see a clear and obvious parody and one that accurately parodies and mashes up both feminist jargon and programming concepts in a way that is both funny and insightful. I understand GitHub may not like this repo. I do not understand how it deserves a takedown. If GitHub can takedown this repo, why would you trust them not to take yours down?
