Github should have a huge call-to-action banner for every China-based web visitor that leads to this article translated into Mandarin.

... which is probably blocked for every China-based web visitor anyway.

I should clarify: I don't think Github should link to the article directly (which is banned since Bloomberg has been banned ever since they published that article)

A plain-text mandarin version in a repo somewhere would suffice to challenge the Chinese government's perception on what it really takes to censor the Internet. I honestly think it would just highlight how much they're losing against an organization of 300.

Failing that, I'm going to resort to my default plan of finding the best way to donate money and time to help support Github, but I thought it was an idea worth entertaining.
