Lets imagine that github does give in and it does take down bitchat, will it result in the death (or at least a huge loss) for github? I mean of course a lot of open-source projects on github won't feel safe when they know that github can easily give in to the government pressure. Plus the general state of github right now is already causing projects to migrate to some better alternatives.

GitHub is currently a dead zombie, but it won't get any deader from this than it did when it deleted a bunch of stuff to please the Russian government or the American government.
