Why did you switch from github.com/magnolia1234 (now deleted) to github.com/magnolia1234-new ?

Clean start. But why bother if you're not using it anyway?

You don't want to reveal the reasons for your github suspension/deletion? (I could understand if they didn't tell you. Such notices are frustratingly often deliberately uninformative.)

The first time this project was discussed on HN I thought that it's not trustworthy and I believed the project description to be dishonest.

That somewhat rhymes with stuff one would need to do to get suspended on github - hence my question.

Then again the legal situation of paywall bypasses is pretty grey, so it's genuinely interesting to know whether github has potentially some kind of policy against it.

I know you're officially not involved as you said that the first time you posted the project. An unofficial answer would be equally interesting!

What's the "misinformation" I'm spreading?

You've cloned an open source project for vague reasons, expanded the extensions permissions vastly and recently started to change the accounts hosting it.

If that weren't already sketchy on it's own you insist on never really answering any question at all.
