I don't know what are the details but I worked for a major company and they didn't even try to see if the service was against embargo they just blocked it. Gmail might not be blocked but can you create an email?
- miracle2k 7y agoYes, you can create an email. The fact that your company "did not even bother to check" is a poor argument for "everyone has to do it".
- Thaxll 7y agoThey probably did checked but it was most likely complicated / subject to various limitations and with all those complications they decided to not provide services, like most US companies, that was pre 2018. When a county is under embargo it's more complicated that just checking a website from the comfort of your chair, I remember many Iranians complaining about that but the chance that you're infringing some rules could lead to very very serious / expensive sanctions ( with DoJ / DoT ) it's just not worth it. http://techland.time.com/2012/08/29/world-of-warcraft-blocked-in-iran-blizzard-unexpectedly-explains-why/ http://techland.time.com/2012/08/29/world-of-warcraft-blocke...
