Well that's not correct. You are actually very protected in documenting security flaws, and even republishing them. I am unsure of who you think enforces laws

I am unsure of who you think enforces laws... as far as I know OpenAI doesn't have their own police force yet.
They can sue you of course, but they generally can't demand compliance with takedowns in this case without first going to a judge and requesting a court order.
There is no "commercial law" unless you mean UCC.. which doesn't apply here.
- spzb 3y agoI'm not a lawyer or even an American but that certainly isn't how the DMCA works. The takedown is issued against the hosting company and, if they comply, they have no further liability. If they don't comply, they are liable in court so, of course, they all comply.
- vorpalhex 3y agoWhat does DMCA stand for? Hint, that C letter is important!
- spzb 3y agoIn your mind, maybe. In the real world, the actual words of the statute are important.
- wtallis 3y agoThere's a difference between being compelled by a court order to take down a repo and choosing to comply with a DMCA takedown notice of dubious validity because you don't want to waste any more time on the issue and are happy to screw your users.
- spzb 3y agoThere’s also a difference between how you’d like the world to be and the way the world actually is.
- sn_master 3y agoStill, there's nothing illegal about GitHub deleting your repo for any reason they choose as long as they're a private entity not owned by the government.
