Recently, I've been pissed about a single thing, and that is
region blocking
Many countries and companies,
specifically American companies, have taken a strict step to blocking access to anyone from certain regions thanks to the
U.S. Trade Restrictions and the
EU counterpart as well. They have taken the initiative to block
North Korea from accessing its resources to prevent any cyber-attacks and stuff like that, you think that would makes sense since North Korea develops Nuclear Weapons and they use intra-net,
right?
What doesn't make sense is if you block
innocent people from access your products, not even companies,
NORMAL PEOPLE. They have decided to block certain regions like the
Russian Federation, Crimean Republic, Afghanistan, Cuba, etc, which means they have went ahead and cut off a large amount of people from accessing their services cause
"you have had bad fortune."
They're just basically going the
"you live in a place we dont like so we take away some, or, even, all rights from you." approach. Take
GitLab for example, they block
ANYONE from the Crimean Republic because
"you live in a place we don't like" and don't allow them to use ANY type of service they provide,
GitHub has blocked the Crimean Republic, Afghanistan and Cuba from accessing some of their services because
"you live in a place we dont like, but we will allow you to have SOME kind of rights",
it's atrocious.
And no wonder people don't like you all,
you companies are acting like assholes
Yes, it's law, but taking away the right to use the same services that are used by everyone is
inhumane. This practice has been going for way too long because we cant agree over small things.
Please just know that these are some rants I have about the entire government bullshit that exists nowadays, so it's just some thoughts that shouldn't be taken like gospel and should be viewed as a POV of a person who has to deal with this bullshit for the past
10 years.
