I used Google Maps and most other google apps fine while in Iran. Youtube and some other sites are blocked, but that's actually from the Iran side. Of course these are all free services, I assume I could not have actually paid for any paid services.
EDIT: I know that Google AppEngine and probably Cloud are blocked, because they provide foreign nation with "computing resources", but that's also its own different bucket.
- curiousgal 8y agoI honestly don't see the point of blocking simple users because of a political conflict, i.e. between governments. One answer that jumps to mind is that those governments are merely a representative of those users but in the case of Iran, we know what happened when people elected their leaders, so it's kinda hypocritical from that regard to punish users because of a leader we placed.
