Pretty harsh is the right word. I do not agree with all their
measures, but for the FSF, it is logical.

Nevertheless, the relative order they have come up between Gitlab and
Github makes sense to me.

Oh, I didn't know this. There was also a takedown request from Spain
if I read correctly.

That's very problematic. And each single case must be considered
individually. However, it is not so clear to me how much Github can do
against the requests even if they want to. The only reasonable other
answer they could give would be to stop their service in Russia and
China.
