Not if there was a p2p version of the github cloud that stored files in such a way that makes a takedown attempt highly impractical. Potentially applicable: https://code.google.com/p/gittorrent/ && https://freenetproject.org/

What other tools can you think of that can replace github and make censorship impossible?

By censorship, you mean facilitate crime and remove money from people who generate content?

Feel free to send me all of the proprietary data at your workplace since you care nothing about copyright. Or just post it all to Pastebin.

Sure. I dislike the company i work for, and would love to disseminate their proprietary software. I appreciate you wanting to be complicit in the crime we are about to commit. What email address should I send it to?

Web browsers facilitate crime and piracy. There is no objective line between criminal software and software that can be used for criminal purposes.

If it's removing money, they need to get a better bank.

There's a difference between not sharing a secret and sharing a secret but requiring the person you shared it with to not share it. The first requires only self discipline, the second requires a club.
