They will get kicked off Github by Microsoft when they get somthing in the mail by the state of California for hosting content that vilolates the law.

Look, it sucks that they’re complaying early with no push back ok. Like not even watiing until the law goes into affect at the least. But what else are they supposed to do besides comply, get off Github or lawyer up when the time comes. If you don’t belive they can move off GIthub then we, as a community, should try to support these devs for a legal battle with the state. I don’t care about this guy, I care about long term solutions to protect our privicy. And to answer your question I don’t think many distos are going to switch off Github, that is a laborus task. I just don’t know what other solutions to this problem are besides this

Y’all are going after this guy rn but in a few months we should expect more and more distros to do changes like this. So lets think, what is the real issue going on here? The real issue is that these distros are hosted on GitHub, which is a Microsoft company, and they will comply in a heartbeat and take that shit down if the software is against the law. So the two options are to move off Github or wait until it gets taken down, and lawyer up and fight California and Colorado, which if so, we’d better start a fund as a community for some lawyers for these devs.
