I'm curious.. why is this very suddenly an issue? Haven't countries like Iran and Syria been under embargo for years? Have more restrictive laws around sanctions been passed in recent weeks?
- umanwizard 7y agoI’m not sure but I suspect the change is due to GitHub having been bought by MS which has more competent (or more paranoid.... or maybe just more) lawyers.
- viraptor 7y agoMS with their lawyers caring about things that GitHub on its own didn't?

- peanutgal2600 7y agoTrump has begun attacking his corporate enemies in the courts, namely Facebook and Google. Microsoft is terrified of getting on his bad side, and Trump needs to stir hatred of Iran to make sure AIPAC stays on his side. Basically, Trump said jump so Github dropped their drawers, bent over and grabbed their ankles.
