AFAIK this doesn't (can't) override GitHub's site-wide guidelines: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/site-...


Thanks, it doesn't claim to override GitHub ToS and I will adapt the guide if anything in there is against their ToS. So far nothing was reported to me as being against their ToS and I think it's fine as it is. This guide does not endorse/support anything unlawful in Germany. If that guide is used by anyone outside of Germany, they should check their local laws before. As for the code of conduct, the current "no code of conduct" approach is only meant to say that I have nothing to add besides the GitHub ToS which anyone has to agree to before signing up anyway. The guide also specifically states it's not meant for use for any unethical/unlawful activities of any kind and some sections of the guide have been limited.


Unfortunately, a more robustly social-justice-informed code of conduct is a requirement to be supported by (and receive funding from) some big players in the online privacy/security community.

On a completely unrelated note not at all related to the above paragraph, ask me if you need any help with the Whonix sections.


Thanks :) If you spot anything wrong with my Whonix section. Feel free to submit an issue on GitHub. Mostly I'm referring to the Whonix documentation itself with some added personal experiences so it should be up to datte.

As for the code of conduct, this project does not aim to receive any support or receive any funding from any big player.

This project also aims to be remain as neutral as possible politically besides privacy and anonymity. Its only stance is that it's meant for adult people with good intentions and that those people should check the local legal aspects themselves unless they're in Germany where everything should be fine (multiple citations included in the guide in regard to that).
