Lots of people google the name of a webshop to check if it's legit.
Not all, but some non-tech people do that..
And lots of webshop owners google their own shop. Shaming sites that are hosting malware seems perfectly reasonable.
On topic: I assume github/gitlab both completely misunderstood what is going on, and thought this was a disclosure of security holes that could be exploited.
I wouldn't be surprised if they do a lot of these.
Perhaps try to throw it up on a few different CDNs where you pay for the service and can contact support. Like S3 or dreamhost (they have decent support too). Arguably github/gitlab isn't the best hosting platform for misunderstood journalists.
