Ever since the China attack in 2010 when Google pulled out of China, Google has prohibited access to user data from employees in China. They gave since expanded to a more general geographic blocking system. I assume Gitlab lacks the sophistication to do this split of user data access vs other business operations. Gitlab runs an open source company, so I don't understand why they are so concerned about China and Russia. Is it for anonymous/confidential customers?
