Why is data like that stored on GitHub to begin with ?

That is worded in an incredibly childish tone - "We will try to earn your trust again"  :palm: - is this company run by 11 year olds? It sounds like an "apology" made under duress, from a naughty child to his headmaster when his parents are called into the office.

Seems like a reasonable response to me.

The blocking part I don't understand, but also seems to have been resolved:


--- Quote ---FYI, I heard from Adafruit, they have unblocked everyone on their 13yo main account and personal accounts, and did not block anyone in recent days over this issue. The blocks must have been from an earlier period, and are now removed.

Sal Ammoniac:
Newly created repositories on Github are public by default. IMO new repositories should be private by default and the creator should have to tick the Public box to make them public, rather than the other way around. This sounds safer to me and is less likely to inadvertently divulge material that should never have been made public.
