I'm not commenting on this particular case, but in general I reject such arguments.

This isn't censorship of the type that is illegal or not allowed.

Neither is posting something offensive. Have you thought about that? Yes, GitHub owns the servers. If you haven't notices already, someone owns every single piece of the Internet.
