GitHub remains partly blocked for some Indians even though an underlying court order was reversed many months ago.

Who cares if nobody can work, the important is that those illegal streams are blocked

Guess Gitlab is about to get a shot in the arm from india.

Is this but just totally stupid and implemented completely useless, because people in power can’t grasp what they are deciding on?

That is why IP/DNS blocks should only be deployed to protect the end-user. Never to enforce some kind of law…

And let people disable it if they don’t want to be protected/babied.
