Hundreds of thousands of people in China, used Shadowsocks as the foundation of several key pieces of software.
It was was originally created by a programmer known as clowwindy.
Today they asked me to delete all the code from GitHub.
I have no choice but to obey.
The Chinese government has complete control over the content and timing of the internet in their country.
China is considered as the worlds largest prison for the Netizens.
Even though the original code on GitHub has been deleted, its been downloaded and copies over many times.
While the future of Shadowsocks is not known, its code still remains.
The news echoed strongly with a global audience worried more and more with censorship and control of the Web.
