So don't use an American git host then. Find one in a legal jurisdiction that better suits you.

More like: hope your code doesn't get illegally uploaded to GitHub.

No need. Github is already doing the right thing by protecting the victims by not publicly doxxing them by default, because that would be insane. Sucks for you guys I guess.

But DMCA is a US law.

And Github does not seem to be violating DMCA when they redact the claimant's real name for good reasons. So all is well, I guess?

You can request the data from the courts, or whatever. It's not Github's job.

I am happy that you're happy with your system. Conversely, I hate the idea that someone could publicly accuse me of something and I couldn't give a similarly public reply. I would say that our system is much better than yours, you can't defame someone and hide behind legal motions because we still have a basic notion of the rights of the accused.
