Practically anybody is free to use GitHub. However, if l'm the developer, l need to comply with the laws of the country l live in/work from. The same regulations apply for the servers as well.

That's what I mean !! If I work from lndia and the server is located in lndia, then neither are bound by EU regulations pertaining to the internet/social media. At the best, the server would be barred from the EU.

That's precisely my point though. You're referring to these softwares collectively but they can be deployed by anyone and hosted anywhere, so it's impossible to answer.
