Which the repo being in violation of the ToS is a lie, but do go on. > Essentially, the entire repository revolves around finding people of interest > for doxxing. Find and contacting representatives of companies is considered doxxing? This sort of behavior has been going on well before the creation of the internet. I mean every time someone went to complain about a product ever that would be considered doxxing. >After github closed the repo the employee responsible has been targeted as >well, and his personal info has been partially compromised. If by targeted you mean I personally found tweets proving that he was engaging in harassing behavior, while his twitter profile said he worked at Github, then yes I "compromised" him. I spent 10 minutes finding him and collecting his public tweets and another 5 minutes making an image macro that circulated around. I had actually had conversations with him over #GamerGate and so it wasnt hard to find him. I even found the tweet where he gleefully informed his friend that the repo was gone like he was proud of what he had done. I also found another Github employee who was *actively* abusing people using the #GamerGate tag and also engaged in doxxing people who were contacting Github support through their contact form about the matter. He also didnt think it was wrong to violate Github's own privacy policy by doing this. I find it odd that you feel that a business should not know what their employees are doing to their own business that can negatively affect it. Or do you believe I'm censoring them? Do you support people who believe in deleting someone's data because they, or their friends, personally dont like it? Why should any company ever use Github knowing that if they piss off an employee of Github that their hard work could just evaporate? Get over yourself thinking you have some high morality when you cant see what consequences there is deleting a repo under false pretenses purely for political reasons. > This repo also seems to violate gitorious's TOS.

We already know contacting businesses is not harassment or "doxxing", so what argument do you have other than you personally just dont like it? > Thanks.
