I can tell you for certain that at least AWS and Atlassian do that.
I learned that while surfing from an IP address which was mistakenly associated with being located in Iran. I only discovered that, because said websites weren't available. As I got that fixed quite fast afterwards I haven't done more browsing, that's why I can only name these two companies, but I'm pretty sure there are much more big companies doing such blocking based on IP address geolocation.

- Dunedan 6y agoThat was just a regular internet connection. Not sure who messed up, but somehow the (dynamic) IP address block the ISP handed out was associated with Iran at that point in time.
