Microsoft GitHub Starts Blocking Access

[AppDefects]

Microsoft has officially begun blocking access to GitHub repositories from countries that currently face U.S. government sanctions. That list includes the Crimea region of Ukraine, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria. This affects developers residing in these regions. GitHub used to be an open and free platform for everyone... thanks Microsoft 😞

Ps. Here' s the official GitHub policy on trade controls.

The topic is Microsoft GitHub Starts Blocking Access, so i'm baffled by your saying that my comments are off topic.

at any rate, the core issue here is freedom of assembly. trade sanctions are an attempt to intefere with it.
