Seems that Github has automated some repository banning actions.
3 days ago, the author of a repo got removed his account without reason and hours later got his account reactivated (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22593595), after posting to hackernews.
As we see, the Aurelia repository were also removed, and hours later reactivated.
What caught my attention is that the banned user is from Russia and that Aurelia repository has got developers from Iran.
Is this a sign of Github country discrimination? Or is this a sign of Machine learning bias?
It's a sign that Github strictly follows US sanctions which currently impact Crimea and Iran. They literally say in the messages for these closures that it's due to sanctions.
