In other news; water is wet.

This is GitHub after all, it's not like they're new to censorship.

Unfortunately. GitHub used to be so strongly against censorship that they preferred financing a week of expensive DDoS mitigation over removing a repository. Two years ago, maintainers of open-source projects wrote open letters to GitHub, and GitHub listened. Sadly the company has changed a lot since then.

I can see the repo, it's not censored.

It's there, but GitHub as a company has a habit of language policing projects they have nothing to do with under the threat of banning or removal.

Remember WebM for retards?

So yeah, not surprised that GitHub employees have free reign to do whatever their feels are telling them to do at any given time.
