Good you mention it, because I did not understand intended meaning of current title ("Faceswap Github repo is public but requires a logged in user"). I scoured the README to see how they managed to restrict a standalone, offline piece of software. Turns out, it's Github who's restricting access.

While censorship may not be an appropriate word, this is weird. Why would Github do something like that, except to force people accessing the repo to leave a trail leading to their PII?

That's a fair point. I've modified it again to make it clearer that it's Github that did the restriction.
