GitHub blocks entire company because one employee was in Iran
So many dimensions come to play here.<p>1. There&#x27;s the obvious legal aspect i.e. how these laws are framed and interpreted.<p>2. Then there&#x27;s the geopolitical aspect. Is it fair to impose sanctions on Iran.<p>3. There&#x27;s another aspect around GitHub policy that asks if an entire organization be banned for the location of one team member.<p>4. Finally, there&#x27;s the aspect of relinquishing control. Your app development is on the cloud. IDEs are on the cloud. Deployments are on the cloud. App stores are on the cloud.<p>You have relinquished so much control, why be surprised if that stares you back in the face?<p>Ironically, Git is a decentralized version control system.
