Agreed, not super helpful his current situation. But might something that other people who read this want to take into consideration or being aware of. And hopefully being more critical about terms of service in future.

For him, I would expect to call out the clause that "allows" GitHub to do that as it is quite sure illegal in some European counties to have such a arbitrary termination policy. And maybe even start a legal case about it and call for support.

But this way it simply sounds like "please take me back" begging.

Well, I would like to point out that the right move here would be to call out this clause in the terms of service. One could even try to take legal action in some countries that have civil right measures against such clauses.

But no, instead one runs around and starts a petition.

I'm sorry to break it to you. But that's basically want you agreed to by accepting their terms of service:

"GitHub has the right to suspend or terminate your access to all or any part of the Website at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately. GitHub reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time."

People, please read and question terms of online services.

The problem with brave is that it takes away creators freedom of choice when it comes to revenue for their content. It's nicely summed up in this article:

https://practicaltypography.com/the-cowardice-of-brave.html

TL;DR: Creators have to sign-up to brave's BAT system in order to get revenue for ads that Brave embeds on the creator's website. And even then there is a competition upon creators for users to spend money on them which is not correclating with the time users spend on creator's content.

It's not that complicated to run DoH, one just has to do it.
