So wait, someone did a query to find information that it got *from pushshift* and they killed it because you... didn't remove the information from pushshift?

They killed it because they didn't blacklist that particular query. But I think the "redacted" part they sent the developer makes it impossible to know what that query was. Github themselves are not allowed to share the PII and since the PII is in the link itself there is no way to ever know what link was violating. And before you say, "none of this makes sense" well it kind of does. Imagine if I owned a database hosted in China and then used github to interface with it. That would be no different yet would represent a loophole allowing me to store and release PII of anyone in the world using Github.

People are really dumb. There are people who run services that check DNS blacklists for you, and they regularly get legal threats for "blocking emails".
It is not surprising at all that the T&S team is particularly dumb. They are hall monitors and they won't stand for someone not respecting their authoritah!
