Couldn't you ask GitHub to remove that information? Wouldn't laws like the GDPR allow you to ask for that?


In my experience, no they won’t help with gdpr takedowns. The only way to make things unavailable is actually to file a dmca notice against any url that you want hidden. This was actually the recommended approach from GitHub when I asked them about this. Absurd.

Is it costly to do?

I would have expected that I could say "This is my code, hence this is my data, and I want you to remove my data from your website". I wonder how hard it is to file a complaint to the EU and see what happens.
