Frankly parts of this summary sound like the Admiral spin on things.
> So, Admiral—an anti-adblocker company—contacted EasyList and told them to remove a domain from their list.
In reality, a new Github account made a comment on a commit. That account had no identifying details to link them to a company, person, or anything else. For all intents and purposes, it was nobody.
The account is @dmcahelper on Github. It has a marketing blurb in the bio (which mentions no companies or individuals' names) and has starred one repo, Github's dmca repo.
> EasyList told Admiral that they would only do it if GitHub agreed
A reply said that, essentially, "if you're Github and trying to tell me something, a brand new account isn't one of the channels I'm listening on."
(Anonymous) Admiral didn't reply to that comment.
IMO EasyList had no choice but to thoroughly ignore that comment, as it would be ridiculous to act on it.
