Note that this is not quite the same. Gitlab made a technical decision to move to Google Cloud, and Google Cloud has its own, much more outrageous block on a network level. Gitlab not being accessible from Iran is a by-product of that move, not a conscious decision Gitlab made. Arguably, if I create a Gitlab Account using a VPN but put country of residence "Iran", and Gitlab lets me do that, then Gitlab does not have the same policy has Github.
