Right, storing your code anywhere presents risk (including self-hosted on a FOSS stack). With GitHub/MSFT, that risk includes "they decide they don't like you anymore" amongst others. How high is that risk? You'll think it's a lot higher if GitHub were to kick off ICE.

(disclaimer: I hold a small amount of MSFT stock, though this was not on my mind when I wrote my original post - thanks for the reminder).




Microsoft isn’t kicking off ICE. They’ve backed our government at every opportunity, including pentagon contracts. Fixing democracy should be done democratically, it’s not the job of tech companies - and Nadella understands that.
