No one's policing you. If you don't want to change it, then don't. If you really want a particular name and the tool you're using changes the default, the beautiful thing about git is that you can change it.

If you don't like that Github is deciding to change their default, then either start your own git hosting company, or accept the fact that you're using software from an American company and they're going to make their decisions via an American lens and to reflect American values and laws.
