# GitHub takes down repository containing Twitter’s source code

## Summary

GitHub takes down repository containing Twitter's source code. Twitter filed a petition in the District Court of Northern California asking GitHub to take down the code and also help it find the perpetrator. The code-hosting site didn’t say if any users were able to access the repository before the company took it down.
