I really wonder if someone could start a GitHub repo mirroring, e.g., news articles that are censored by various governments. Could be a nice way of making censorship difficult.

http://lite.cnn.io/ would be a great candidate site for easy publishing to Github in some sort of markdown.

Of course I imagine there would be license problems.

Yeah. It wouldn't even just be news--historical documents could also be helpful.

Reminds me of NPM been blocked in China so CNPM appears to mirror nodejs packages.

CNPM is now better known as https://npm.taobao.org/

What's there to prevent private organizations censorships?
