> In case this is the policy it would mean we could not delete something like revenge porn ourselves

I could argue either way (I'm a bit of a philosopher that way...). It all depends on how you want to run your service. Do you want a reddit-free-for-all-wild-west or do you want to keep it PG-13?

Either way - it should be clearly defined where you stand and what you allow/don't allow. Making it a guessing game isn't going to win you any fans.



We make decisions on a case by case basis and people can judge for themselves if they think it is reasonable. Clearly defining where you stand is very hard, and we don't think we'll do a good job at it. Giving a definition and then backtracking won't win us any fans either. Anyway, it will be more PG-13 than the old Reddit.


Under a case by case basis I cannot read the rules and know that my repository won't be deleted by gitlab at some point in the future.

Why would I ever consider trust gitlab with data vital to the future of my company without that certainty?


We'll never delete data, we will make the repositories private. You will have to move your public project elsewhere. For significant projects we're open to making it public when you've replaced the repo with one announcing the new location.
