#3How close is American/China from this level of restriction?
Extremely far. It'd be extraordinarily costly - imagine every Chinese national SWE having to leave American companies - and in the US probably unlawful to impose.

In the US a blanket anti-boycott law would be unconstitutional to enforce. Government contractors in some states (maybe federally) are subject to anti-BDS restrictions, but to my knowledge GitHub isn't one.
Also, GitHub as an organization is not boycotting Israel, one of the users of its site is. The law / requirement is to state that you (i.e. the gov't contractor in question) will not boycott Israel. But it doesn't say anything about your customers also abiding by that provision.

Way far.
A lot of these restrictions were imposed by the Arab states in the very early days of Israel's "nationhood" and haven't been lifted since, so you don't have to expel people to do this.
If US/China did this there would be mass expulsions on an India-Pakistan partition level

No. It is so far from any extant law and so far from any currently proposed law that the idea is preposterous.

#9Can never stand it when a government steps in between two individuals enriching their shared human experience in a way that harms no one else.
Fuck. That. Shit. May the culture of human independence and individual freedom win over this authoritarian bullshit.
