>You are quoting a very specific claim. That big providers such as Gmail and GitHub do not block Iranian IPs. Are you saying they do? Yes I am saying they block accounts by Iranian IPs, and this is easily verifiable if you know anyone who lives in Iran and can access a website - attempting to use Github functionality for anything other than viewing repositories right now is currently blocked, and enterprise accounts are entirely blocked. Personal Gmail accounts are the exception to Google services available in Iran, and some functionality is also blocked by IP - if you live in Iran currently you might know that almost all other Google services and enterprise accounts are outright blocked by IPs too: https://support.google.com/a/thread/4870330?hl=en https://support.google.com/a/thread/4870330?hl=en https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/site-policy/github-and-trade-controls https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/site-... Here is a non-comprehensive list of sites that block Iranian IPs, most outright disallowing access to websites: https://gist.github.com/alibo/dfd7c258bcc44a0e8c9f7c5bfd3bd2c3 https://gist.github.com/alibo/dfd7c258bcc44a0e8c9f7c5bfd3bd2...

So, I responded to you in another thread above. You seem to agree that Github is allowing Iranian IPs to browse the website, as well as have accounts to work on OpenSource projects. These are things Gitlab is not doing. Not sure where your disagreement is then.

  When you describe the "big providers" such as Gmail or GitHub as allowing Iranian IPs, but they only do so on endpoints for personal use. GSuite, the same thing as Gmail and using the same address for most aspects, have IP blocked endpoints. This is where the misinformation is: many providers outright block Iranian IPs and in the other thread I linked you to services who do just that. Just because the most well funded consumer facing personal services don't outright IP block or account block doesn't mean it's not standard for everyone with a tighter budget.
