      It’s to do with the definition of Social Media in the legislation. If you can make comments that anyone on the Internet can read from your account, then you qualify as social media. That’s an incidental aspect of what GitHub does, so it makes perfect sense for that site to be excluded from the ban.

      BECAUSE OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE IS COMMUNIST AND THE SPAWN OF SATAN HIMSELF!!

      ALL THE COMMUNISTS ARE SHARING “REPOSITORIES” AND DOING “PULL REQUESTS” AND “COMMITS”. AND THEY ARE DISCUSSING THINGS OPENLY LIKE “ISSUES” AND “BUGS”.

      THEY ARE PLANNING BRANCHES AND RESOLVING MERGE CONFLICTS!

      GITHUB HAS TO BE STOPPED BEFORE THEY CAN RELEASE!
