Section D, rule 7 seems like it could use some work:
> GitHub employees do not access private repositories unless required to for security or maintenance, or for support reasons, with the consent of the repository owner. [...] If we have reason to believe the contents of a private repository are in violation of the law or of these Terms, we have the right to remove them.
So, basically, GitHub says that there's a possibility for them to remove a private repo because of a hunch that it violates ToS, without actually looking at it to make sure?
- snowwrestler 10y agoIt says "reason to believe" which means they will have evidence (the "reason"). You might need to sue them in order to see it, but that's usually how these things go. If they wanted to give themselves free reign to remove repos they would say something like "we have the right to remove private repos at any time, for any reason, at our sole discretion."
