Russian developers have been banned from the open-source platform Github after the latest wave of international sanctions. The platform had previously announced “to ensure free open source services are available to all, including developers in Russia”.
“My @github account has been suspended without a prior notification. Perhaps because I am ethnically Russian. ‘GitHub’s vision is to be the home for all developers, no matter where they reside’ they said.”
GitHub is a popular software development platform used for storing, tracking and collaborating on software projects. It enables developers to upload their own code files and collaborate with fellow developers on open-source projects. It has become a core part of the crypto ecosystem because of its open-source nature.
According to early reports, most of the firms and developers facing suspension belong to private Russian banks, and no crypto firm or developer was impacted. GitHub hadn’t responded to Cointelegraph’s request for comment at publishing time.A few Russian developers contacted GitHub regarding their suspension and received a response explaining the reasons behind the move, including a link through which they could appeal.
