US Sanctions are useless. they only affect the normal people, not the Governments or the people in power.
I lived in Syria for some time and it is impossible there to buy/use online services (hosting, apps, payment processing etc ..) or to use most Google services.
The funny part is that those same guys who brag about giving open access to knowledge and technology they themselves blocking it from the people who need it most.
- patrickaljord 13y ago> those same guys who brag about giving open access to knowledge and technology Those same guys are forced by US laws (ie at gunpoint) to block these countries. The alternative would be bypassing these laws, going to jail and shutting down these companies. And they don't "brag", they just encourage open access and practice it as much as they possibly and legally can, no need to be so negative here. If you want to be mad at someone, be so at the US gov, not at these law abiding companies, just saying.
