I looked into why they wanted it blocked, and it seems to be because people are gathering there, starting with the CJP (Cockroach Janata Party). In other words, the Indian government hates democracy and citizen resistance. Will GitHub comply with this block?

I tried to make a mirror of this site on nonograph but it looks like links automatically removed now. Basically, the people are using the bitchat app for decentralized communication to organize and their govt doesn't like it. These types technologies are really important and I support making decentralized communications easy. It's just oppressive to not allow people to communicate.
