Today, Iranians are being banned from these "decentralised platforms" for the simple crime of being born in Iran...
Here I have tried to compile some of these cases of blatant racism, that is masked under technicality, jargon and bureaucracy. Lets go.
1. @poapxyz banning an Iranian podcast in canada :

Also there are many other examples where KYC is abused to the detriment of Iranians. Here are some of my own experiences. One of the worst examples was that I won a giveaway from brokli network but they refused to give it to me because of my place of birth.
And this is just for payment services. Last week even discord labeled iranians as terrorists and stopped providing services.
And here's a list of all websites blocked for iranians. Apart from this, Irans own government blocks many websites. gist.github.com
In the past, even slavery was a law. You could legally own a black man. But just because a law exists it doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do. The current political environment allows for the abuse of civilians of Iran by the government and the outside world.
Its easy to comply with sanctions and treat Iranians horribly. But it's not the right thing to do. It's time for a change.
I call on everyone that cares to form a dao here to address this. For all the oppressed. Also if there's anything I've missed dm me and I'll add it to this.

Tagging people who might be able to help, I am hoping something comes out of this.
