Dear Github, you're being played by a failed state #9

Closed thomasmaas closed 4 years ago

Close. This repository is nothing to do with politics or taking a side. It's for transparency of @GitHub as an organization. Putting all the communication sent to them by other parties - that's transparency.

What is doing GitHub is great! It is really nice to see a company doing real transparency.

But I do not understand your comment @tunnckoCore , ¿did you have read the README?

GitHub is just embracing free of speech. That is wonderful!

¿did you have read the README?

Yes, I did. And as you quoted. It's nonsense to contribute such "changes". Such PRs are obviously out of scope.

As we had stated the previous version of the README in this repo

We do not accept Pull Requests in this repository.

To clarify and explain why, we made some clarifications, including

We publicly post those notices, unchanged (other than redactions of personal information), because we are concerned about Internet censorship

and that

We do not accept Pull Requests in this repository because the notices we post are verbatim from the notifying government.

For these reasons, we are closing this pull request. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact GitHub Support.
