I'm definitely living under a rock. Why is Slack being impacted by a trade embargo?

All US companies doing business internationally are impacted by US trade laws (eg; sanctions, trade embargoes), I believe.

Eg; you're not allowed to sell stuff to Iran, or certain individuals.

How did they not block based on nationality when they literally blocked a nation?

i am an american national and i go to canada. my access to netflix changes for reasons that have nothing to do with my nationality (what passport i have), and everything to do with what nation i’m in.
