Github donated the money ICE paid them to charities that are directly counteracting the bad things ICE is doing.

Isn't that clearly better than just forcing ICE to install Gitlab?

No. It does nothing to hinder ICE's work. It does nothing to promote a culture of not helping or tolerating torturers.

Not from US and dont know the topic in depth, but I like this idea that instead of not engaging with your government, you earn their money and actively help / fund action to reverse its course. After all that is or should be how is works in a democratic country.

One step forward, and one step back, is not two steps forward.
