We have a temporary glitch with GitHub—probably some contributor was geolocated in a sanctioned region (no details yet). All required documents to unlock the account have been uploaded. Don't blame Microsoft/GitHub - it is just U.S. law. Please be patient. It should be unblocked soon.
Still, the US has been overreaching when it comes to jurisdiction for decades already. It’s just a risk to rely on American corporations for anything mission critical, especially if you want to run something truly global (like having maps for Iranian/Cuban users or whatever it is the US took issue with this time).
Om first reading, I read “please be nice to Microsoft”.
On second reading, I realize it actually says “fuck the US and its idiocracy - blame them”.
Subtle, but nice. :)

Yeah. There’s really no need to blame Microsoft at this point - even if they did everything right, there would still be good reason to avoid them.
