My PR was denied by Iranian Law
- yiddishe-kop 6y agoMy surprise when my pull-request was denied by Iranian law.
- oedmarap 6y agoI wonder if the Iranian government actually has an automated method of monitoring GitHub software packages linked to Iranian developers, then cross checking PRs/comments/followers etc. that match GitHub accounts/orgs with Israeli owners. I guess it's not entirely improbable ... but it's definitely a reminder that countries with draconian laws can easily stretch those laws to include digital domains (case in point where this package maintainer's code is equivalent a blog, a forum, or other form of free expression) which can lead to tangible consequences in the real world if those laws are enforced ex post facto.
