After briefly looking at https://github.com/github/dmca/tree/master/2016 there doesn't appear to be any DMCA request for gwillem's content, so maybe it wasn't removed through the DMCA process?

#33> I understand that Github doesn’t have the resources to investigate each and every DMCA notice. However, it still took me by surprise that Github censors data so easily.
Send a counter-notification asserting that the data is not under copyright and have it put back up. Assuming this is really DMCA.

#34Would be fun to see if the list is censored on Google docs.

#35And just like that, we discover how helpless the average Joe is against corporate money.
Let's crowdfund an AWS s3+CloudFront hosted site. DDosing that is no easy feat, and if corps do try it, the logs can prove their complicity, which has legal implications I presume

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
It would probably get DDOS'ed just as quickly.
Just put it behind the free Cloudfare protection.

#37What is the problem to publish on your own site?
Or publish by BitTorrent?

#38Archive of the list on Gitlab which is now 404: https://web.archive.org/web/20161014133252/https://gitlab.co...

#39We at GitLab believe the author did not responsibly disclose this security information in a proper manner, and today we removed the list of hosts in accordance with our terms of service (https://about.gitlab.com/terms/).
The author says that he contacted "about 30 merchants directly", but the published list includes over 1000 merchants. Most merchants were neither informed nor given a chance to respond in a timely manner. We did not feel comfortable hosting information that could be construed as an open invitation for malicious users to exploit.
Re: GitHub censored my research data
#40GL sent me this statement. For the record, I didn't publish vulnerable systems, I published stores that have malware.

GitLab has opted to remove the list of servers that you posted in your snippet. GitLab views the exposure of the vulnerable systems as egregious and will not abide it. While GiLab reserves the right take further action, up to and including termination (https://about.gitlab.com/terms/), we have chosen not to terminate or lock your account.
