        Name-checking terrorists is so thin it's transparent. Also, the SourceForge link was for pastebin source code[0] and not an actual pastebin. IMHO it was a lazy request from the copyright lobby, which is seeking to criminalize anonymous text and links. They don't care that it's insane, the world isn't changed by being reasonable; at worst they'd have shifted the Overton window and made the other wing of the lobby look sane. The politicians barely care, and another level of jaded drones didn't bother to contact anybody[1], put up a DNS block and went home.

  Exactly. I can access Github without any problems as well (in Mumbai). I tried my home wifi, office wifi and Vodafone 3g and it worked from all of these. In fact, today I can even use Vimeo and Weeby which were blocked until yesterday.
