Insane that Github blocked their entire development without discussing it with them though. Ban the contributor, not the entire open source project.

Sounds like an easy way to do unproportional damage to projects with a bit of location spoofing.

I was very surprised to learn that .NET has an entire team in North Korea

And all of them sharing a single 26k connection, too

I heard they got upgraded to DSL

Looks like a contributor was in a sanctioned region?

Not according to that thread - it looks like they don't yet know what caused it:

No any details from GitHub yet. One contributor mentioned a temporary visit to disputed areas a long time ago — GitHub probably just flagged the account, and their bots messed up after that.

sanctioned region

What's that?

A country the USA doesn't like

Seems so arbitrary that they just block the entire project instead of the user in the sanctioned region.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Probably for the best, GitHub seems like a liability (to a lamen like me, anyway)
