All people! We have terrible destruction of our cities. I’m from Kharkiv city Ukraine (the population before this war was more than 2 million people!), they almost destroyed our civilian districts, killed a lot of civilian people and children! Please, we should block Russians in all the ways until they return their troops!
While Ukraine is under missile attacks GitHub could be used by Russians to develop apps and platforms aiming to destabilize Ukrainian web resources.
Please, prevent these actions and don’t stay on the same side with invaders!
We urge you to close GitHub for Russia and its developers! We value your support and we are in need for your actions!
What’s going on right now in Ukraine is none tolerable. Thousands of people die each day. More than 70 children are already passed away. We need to stop russia from further aggression, to prevent genocide of Ukrainian people.
I bet, just a few minutes and a moderator will come up to this thread and close it saying something about caring for “open data flow and collaboration across nations” and that “they are concerned by actions of Russian government but their people are not guilty”.
That is manipulation.
More than 3/4 of Russians support this war.
GitHub must ban Russia! You will not make us shut up!!
Ukrainian developers are dying from shelling by the Russian army. The Russian army uses IT resources and your service. You are now taking part in the murder of our developers!
GitHub’s vision is to be the home for all developers, no matter where they reside. We take our obligations with respect to government mandates seriously, which includes complying with stringent new export controls aimed at severely restricting Russia’s access to technologies and other items needed to sustain its aggressive military capabilities.
We also take seriously our responsibility to examine government mandates thoroughly to be certain that users and customers are not impacted beyond the scope of the mandates. This includes protecting open collaboration and the free flow of information in our interconnected community to support communications, humanitarian work, and organizing for change. You can read more about our policies on GitHub Docs.
In accordance with our Community Forum Code of Conduct, we are closing this discussion.
Russia has used thermobaric weapons (also known as vacuum bombs) in Ukraine.
Thermobaric weapons are controversial because they are much more devastating than conventional explosives of similar size, and have a terrible impact on anyone caught in their blast radius.
So you support them???
