And GitHub actually complied with their requests. I don’t live in China, why am I subject to their laws? Any recommendations for alternative source repos?

Any recommendations for alternative source repos?
- Pmop 5y agoSince almost everybody is bending their knees and complying to authoritarian requests, I think the safest options are self hosting and variations.
- KyeRussell 5y agoWhat’s your point? Anyone outside the US or even outside California is subject to laws outside of their jurisdiction all the time. Welcome to the Internet.
- anothernewdude 5y agoDon't spread this nonsense.
- lmz 5y agoWhat nonsense? GDPR also claims to be applicable worldwide if you serve EU nationals.
- amiga1200 5y ago“… if you serve EU nationals”. Agreed. I am not a China national. Nonsense, yes?
- lmz 5y agoI am not an EU national either but I get to experience the cookie banners too. Is that also nonsense?
- phendrenad2 5y agoIt actually is. I wish the US would put sanctions on the EU for all the man-hours wasted clicking those stupid things.
- amiga1200 5y agoMy point is not too hard to understand, stay with me here. I don’t live in China, therefore not subject to their laws. GitHub is not a China company, therefore not subject to their laws when serving non China users. I’m taking a stand to ensure that my rights are not trampled on by an irrelevant but dangerous dictatorship, therefore I am asking if anyone has knowledge of alternatives to GitHub, who seem to have some obligation to China.
