The idea is probably to have an easy joker reason to randomly ban any repo which is for some otherwise hard to justify reason not wanted on the site. It’s a common corpo practice to have extra vague and impossible-to-disprove rules like that.

Just one problem with that: Every piece of work - code or otherwise, made by a human or not - may violate copyright law. There really is no way to know without actually checking against all other works (which you can’t because you don’t have access to all of them).

What GitHub does is what a sane person would do: React to claims. They just assume that what they get uploaded isn’t violating copyright until someone claims otherwise. And as it is literally impossible to actually know, that is the only sane way to approach this problem apart from just not hosting other people’s stuff at all.

Just use that cat girl captcha thing, every other FOSS site uses, and the problem is solved.

Let’s be real here: Most future projects will be mostly written by AI.
Sure, the good ones will have proper human QA. But Claude Code is so much faster at writing and rewriting surprisingly good code, that ignoring it is just like ignoring IDEs was a decade ago.
You can still write code without AI, syntax highlighting, code-suggestions, documentation tooltips, inspections, and fully integrated version control. But all these tools legitimately make software development easier.

Social networks need to be big to work. Power users are a minority. So a social network funded by subscriptions of power users is bound to fail.
This obviously is an investor SCAM, and/or they are just lying and plan to do ad-funded free-to-use once they grew big enough.

AI-controlled drones will not care about bodyguards.
