    Sanctions does not work, the regime still stays while average people suffers and even it harder to even escape the country. North Korea still exist. Belarus still exist. Eritrea still exist.

    American sanctions also only targeted towards anti-America countries. If the regime is pro-America, it’s not gonna be sanctioned.

    If you actually support democracy, let’s support the people by giving them platform in the international community. Making them be able to showcase their voice without hijacked by external political force.

        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.
