And GitHub actually complied with their requests. I don’t live in China, why am I subject to their laws? Any recommendations for alternative source repos?

[KyeRussell]

What’s your point? Anyone outside the US or even outside California is subject to laws outside of their jurisdiction all the time. Welcome to the Internet.

[amiga1200]

My point is not too hard to understand, stay with me here. I don’t live in China, therefore not subject to their laws. GitHub is not a China company, therefore not subject to their laws when serving non China users. I’m taking a stand to ensure that my rights are not trampled on by an irrelevant but dangerous dictatorship, therefore I am asking if anyone has knowledge of alternatives to GitHub, who seem to have some obligation to China.

Don't spread this nonsense.

What nonsense? GDPR also claims to be applicable worldwide if you serve EU nationals.

[amiga1200]

“… if you serve EU nationals”. Agreed. I am not a China national. Nonsense, yes?

[lmz]

I am not an EU national either but I get to experience the cookie banners too. Is that also nonsense?

[phendrenad2]

It actually is. I wish the US would put sanctions on the EU for all the man-hours wasted clicking those stupid things.

Since almost everybody is bending their knees and complying to authoritarian requests, I think the safest options are self hosting and variations.

I guess you haven't read the Hong Kong national security law. Everyone is subject to the law!

[amiga1200]

Apologies, I don’t understand. Are you missing a /s for sarcasm? Why would anyone outside Hong Kong be subservient to their laws?

[t0suj4]

It's not sarcasm. Look it up.
