In rare cases of very widespread abuse of dual-use content, we may restrict access to that specific instance of the content to disrupt an ongoing unlawful attack or malware campaign that is leveraging the GitHub platform as an exploit or malware CDN. In most of these instances, restriction takes the form of putting the content behind authentication, but may, as an option of last resort, involve disabling access or full removal where this is not possible (e.g. when posted as a gist). We will also contact the project owners about restrictions put in place where possible.
Restrictions are temporary where feasible, and do not serve the purpose of purging or restricting any specific dual-use content, or copies of that content, from the platform in perpetuity. While we aim to make these rare cases of restriction a collaborative process with project owners, if you do feel your content was unduly restricted, we have an [appeals process](/github/site-policy/github-community-guidelines#appeal-and-reinstatement) in place.

* **Reinstatement**: Where a user wishes to address the violation and is willing to agree to abide by our Acceptable Use Policies moving forward, we may choose to reinstate their account or content depending on the severity of the initial violation.
* **Appeal**: If a user wishes to dispute the basis of an enforcement action and can provide additional information regarding the alleged violation, we will review that information and may grant the appeal where we determined that a violation did not occur.
If you seek reinstatement or wish to appeal an enforcement action, please contact [support](https://support.github.com/contact?tags=docs-policy).
