A court has ordered GitHub to hand over the source code. GitHub has refused, believing that they only have to honor requests for the government, not for defendents. This article argues that stance by tech companies has led to morally reprehensible happening. They say tech companies often just pay fines rather than obey court orders to help defendents, while always helping prosecutors. The defendents's lawyers argue this is unconstitutional.
I don't consider that clickbait.
