On: GitHub censored my research data

[x1798DE]

Article doesn't say that gitlab censored the list, though the gitlab link is a 404.

Also, are they actually using DMCA to get these lists taken down? If so, isn't there some penalty for filing a false DMCA?

The first comment mentions it was taken down about an hour ago.

Hmm. I didn't (still don't) see any comments. Maybe it's a mobile thing.

Only if you get caught, which I don't think will be the case if they did anything to cover up their tracks

As I understand it, it's actually worse: the thing you swear under penalty of perjury is not "this content infringes a copyright", but rather "I am the copyright holder or authorized to act on the copyright holder's behalf". So even if you know beyond doubt something doesn't infringe, you're not committing perjury unless you misrepresent yourself as a copyright holder or authorized agent of a copyright holder.
