Github Must Be a Free Platform
Introduction
Github was a free platform for everyone since many years ago, but it has decided to restrict Iranian accounts. We believe living in a country is not a choice that you have, but being a developer and contributing to the open-source community is a choice. Github has restricted us from our freedom to contribute and being part of the open-source ecosystem because we are living in Iran.
Github blocked our private repositories without warning us, and now we have no access to our codes.
People should not be judged based on their living country. Github might decide to restrict a government, but it should not ban its active and loyal users without any prior caution.
I think having a simple Github page is a basic right for users. Don't make us leave the open-source community.
