I agree that Github (and like every other company) must be forced to tell the reason for blocking people. But the process being messed up is 100% up to the government, Github has nothing to do with it.

I mean, if we are talking 1 in a million, it proves nothing. All websites block users for different reasons (including being geographically in regions under US sanctions, in which case they have to block a user according to law, not their w

It's not US, its the man is from a country under lots of international sanctions (for good reasons), that may have been to places with even more sanctions. The US laws prevent companies from doing business with those regions (again, fo

I can see how this can have sense. But it doesn't.

I meant general practice done legally, e.g. stating this in their policy and showing when you run the app for the first time that it will sell their not personal data in exchange for free service. The concept is fair as some are willing to

Sensor tower is a mobile intelligence tool. Correct me if I am missing something, but what is a big deal here? And when you use free apps, obviously they sell your data (or with a high chance), they are not charities. But in return, you get

So they got list of apps, and did some analysis on the data. Should they disclose it upfront? Sure, it would be nice. If this a big deal? Doesn't seem so.

It is evil the same way eBay is evil because some people lie in the description or send you bad products. Airbnb is just a platform. Its users break laws. Just like there are bad landlords for long term rent, same is here only for the short

Airbnb is not evil. Tourists that don't care or follow the rules are. Without Airbnb, they will bring the same problems just to other people in other places. Many hotels do charge unjustified amounts of money, so I am personally happy

Its not moderate success, its just success. From product point of view, its hard to compare them to Google or Microsoft as each Blizzard's product was a hit, unlike those two.
