Cutting off entire countries at the level of firewall rules seems almost dehumanizing.
- oneplane 6y agoGot the same message. Seems like people are more interested in paying for restrictions to others than restricting their own data intake.

When Trump issued travel ban on citizens of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen it was considered racist. I don't see how banning users from other countries using some other arbitrary measures is any less racist.
- sergiotapia 6y agoIt will be just give it time. At previous positions I've banned entire countries like China from our backend. The truth is some companies do zero business in Country X, so it makes sense to outright ban them to avoid the headache. You should see the traffic I would get from people in china trying to hack in our backends. The funniest bits were seeing people trying to hit /phpmyadmin
