Discussion on: GitLab joined legalized discrimination. Why does no one talk about this?

I've been hearing about this as well, and from what I've read this has less to do with GitLab or any company and more to do with the fact that they are US-based so they must follow any rule that their government enforces.

That part is beyond what we can change but I think the fact that there is no notice period to backup your stuff is unnecessary and can be changed.

It’s not that simple, every software has many dependencies on other companies, if one component is banned, entire chain of software is banned. This is against free communication and it is legal bully for every other country except US.
