Comment on Github Banned a Ton of Adult Game Developers and Won’t Explain Why

This is just TOS enforcement, they updated their TOS in October. From the article:

Github updated its acceptable use policies in October 2025 to forbid “sexually themed or suggestive content that serves little or no purpose other than to solicit an erotic or shocking response, particularly where that content is amplified by its placement in profiles or other social contexts.” This include pornographic content and “graphic depictions of sexual acts including photographs, video, animation, drawings, computer-generated images, or text-based content,” according to the terms.

So they suspended users without telling them about the fairly recent TOS update? That’s just scummy behaviour.

  I’m quite sure said users clicked right past a notification of the updated TOS, just like we all do, without even skimming it.

    When has a TOS ever been user friendly?

    Not relevant. You asserted that the users weren’t told about the changes, when we both know they most certainly ignored some notification of said changes, be it via a popup or an email or whatever. How much fun the TOS is to read and parse has nothing to do with this.

    “But the plans were on display…”
    “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
    “That’s the display department.”
    “With a flashlight.”
    “Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
    “So had the stairs.”
    “But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
    “Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
