Sky Italia Targets Pirate Streaming App VancedFlix Through GitHub * TorrentFreak

GitHub has removed the popular pirate streaming app VancedFlix from its servers in response to a takedown notice sent by Sky Italia. The request targets a similarly named repository on the developer platform, as well as the app's APK file that's linked under the download button on the official site VancedFlix.

guess it's time to switch to gitlab or any others github alternatives
- I mean, it's not the first time something like this has happened. And Github is from Microsoft, so... for this type of content is not a good alternative
- Gitlab.com also follows takedown notices, as do all other hosters based in a jurisdiction with similar rules.
  Edit: The devs could send a counter-notice and reinstate their Github page, but that'd open them up to a lawsuit, for which they likely don't have the resources. It's the same situation as tge takedown of Tachiyomi.
  But I agree, hopefully switching to another code host will solve the issue for the time being.
  
  is there any decentralized alternatives ?
