It seems your context is specific. If a country is actively hostile against other countries, occupying territories, forbidding people to visit the dangerous area is a common sense.

Making individual user to not be able to contribute to GitHub literally does not do anything towards the regime. In fact, it's just making the regime to make alternative platform that controlled by the government to censor the voice. The people basically living on their own bubble and potentially disconnected to the world.

@nasi_goreng It does. It makes it visible. I mean look, we are talking about it. And people tolerating the regime, which needs their ignorance to function, yes, those people should not be enjoying the perks of the free world. The alternative is that we will host and greet the supporters of such regimes, and I don't think that's in any way effective.

People are not tolerating to the regime.

We are helping individual to contribute on open source project.

We should punish the government, but not individual participation in global community.
