Did you ask them for permission to publish a private communication? Probably not, bad of you! -

Github/-lab is for projects imho and not a publishing platform. Why don't you publish it on your blog or something? All power to Github/-lab, kick out such stuff!

Given that they both offer to host web sites, then they are both (to some extent) publishing platforms.

As you said: to some extent! Have a look at the "What is Github Pages" [1] and one clearly feels that Pages is meant for software, projects, manuals etc. And NOT to publish documents to shame 3rd party misbehaviour and hopefully attract publicity and quarrel. Such content should go to other places (imho).

Why are you so angry? This is not about shaming, but protecting customers - first thing I did even before reading the full article was to click the link to see if I have given my CC to fraudsters, then I was gifted with a 404 from GitLab.

They are both offering hosting of websites. They are absolutely a publishing platform.
