Jul 27, 2026, 8:50 AM@mrmasterkeyboard this is so fucking stupid wtf how is this allowed :neocat_flop: unfortunately i feel like it's unlikely anything could be done from a legal perspective, given the license grants in the github terms of service;
"By making a repository public, you grant other Users a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, perform and reproduce (by forking) Your Content through the Service as permitted by GitHub's functionality. You may grant additional rights by adopting a license. If you post Content you did not create or own, you are responsible for ensuring it is licensed under terms that permit these uses."
though, that's only on the copyright front. it seems likely that a case could be made with GDPR or similar regulation
