Github and YouTube and most other places immediately take down content. It’s also extremely difficult to reinstate content, if possible at all.

GitHub's DMCA policy[0] is very clear on how to reinstate content. It's not extremely difficult, but you do have to send GitHub a properly-formed counter notice, and you do have to be prepared that the sender of the original DMCA notice may sue you to prevent the content from being reinstated.
