We're living with transparent juridical system and it works fine. Imagine that you could be thrown to jail without explaining a reason. That would be outrageous.
Yeah, criminals are always arrested and convicted. /s
It's a balance. With something as essential as human rights and personal freedom, people (tend to) err on the safe side. Online moderation can err on the other side, since consequences are relatively modest. If you get banned on GH, move to Gitlab or host your own, that's hardly a tragedy.
That is exactly what I do. I use self hosted solutions for my source code repositories. I just can't digest my code being handled by some other entity. Too important.
Amazing that you got downvoted for this. I pay for code hosting precisely because I want to see an ecosystem of code hosts, and monocultures are dangerous.
Well I've never downvoted a single post no matter how much I disliked it. Personally I consider this a kind of weakness and the whole system as promoting herd mentality. But whatever floats their boat.
Exactly. Screw around and try to game/skirt the law IRL and the risk is way too high that you'll goto jail anyway. There are usually no consequences for doing this online.
