Tell HN: GitHub is partially blocked in India

I did mention that it's only ACT blocking it so far.

Very unlikely. Court orders are not ISP specific, but ISPs are not time-bound to apply them. It's all very secretive, so there's really no way for us to find out. It's better to assume the worst (ACT is blocking it on a court-order, and more ISPs might follow).

Other ISPs are known to do blocks without court orders (mainly Jio and BSNL) but ACT - not so much. It has been blocked for almost a week, with small media coverage, little outrage, and no response.

ACT broadband user here, never had any issues with GitHub being blocked at all. It might be a localised issue to a certain city.
