Just in case you misread. He is the CEO of GitLab.
PS: I'm trailing the comments and it is very interesting to see how this post is turned into a competition about GitLab vs. GitHub vs. BitBucket. But fellas, this is not about tech, it's about the people who use it. In particular about a thriving community of talented and young developers who have been ignored, sanctioned, and betrayed over and over both domestically and internationally.
PS: I agree this post should be about GitHub and what they achieved for the thriving community of developers in Iran who are making things work despite their circumstances.

Now that you guys have had some time to formulate policy do you have any comment?
Among other things, the policy requires that governments that want content removed from GitHub issue a lawful request to us, which we then push to a public repo: https://github.com/github/gov-takedowns
So you are able to see all of the government takedown requests that we have processed, there. You'll notice that there are only 3 directories in that repo: Russia, China, and Spain. When we do (reluctantly) take down content at the request of a government, we try to limit the takedown only to viewers in the country that made the request, rather than doing a global takedown.
The latest news says he is just laying low, but that of course doesn’t make for a good story.
