Maybe they are going to block or attack GitHub again until GitHub takes down all clones of it.

The Chinese government just has to take control of the repo and make a new commit that contains the word "retard" and GitHub will make sure it never sees the light of day again for them.

They will, one day. anyway Gmail was gone, which I think is the most impossible site to be blocked.

PS: nice to see you here. :)

I was shocked to see Gmail blocked, given how many business users were dependent on it. Previously they didn't censor websites critical to business and economy, but now they seem to be prioritizing control of speech over economic development.
