It's actually in the discussion:
> There is an unacceptably high risk that these nations may apply pressure to individuals living within their borders with sensitive data access (based their role at GitLab). It is our concern. And it is the stated concerns of several customers.
The discussion is actually pretty significant, as they sort out how they might manage the _customer demand_ that is creating these hiring blocks, and in turn, how that is reported and tracked.
I don't see this as a purely "done deal", it's a company having very important discussions in the open that most would just default to "restricted". All this transparency is a great source for others to learn from.
- Iv 7y agoAfter activating JS I could see the discussion, sorry. Going a bit deeper, it seems to be a specific demand by a potential client. Can make sense for activists, journalists, humanitarians. Makes sense for gitlab to push back too though.
- fastball 7y agoWhy does it make sense for Gitlab to push back on a reasonable request from customers?
