Did your slack account closed?

Yes. I lost access to all 4 workspaces I'm using. I'm in touch with Slack to get this resolved. I'm pretty sure it's a huge mistake on their end.

Interesting. One trip Several years back. Did you use slack when you travelled to Iran? I’m trying to find the root cause of the ban.

Those were several trips, on a 6 months period for work. I was using slack for my job at that time - but i'm not connected to that workspace anymore. I think they just made random shit in their code :)

Or they retrospectively banned any account that has ever been accessed from an IP inside Iran. I actually hope for this to be the case rather than they found a way to associate accounts with Iran in a more creepy way :))

One of the hypothesises I have in mind is they actually received a formal listing from US administration. If this is the case, this is really creepy.

Now people say it's the law but there's nothin in that law saying you should take it into effect in the most disrespectful way possible! At least, just to respect your clients, a 24 hour notice would've been nice!

Plus if you consider the fact I'm using slack on a paid plan with my current company. And we have nothing to do with Iran.

Absurd. @amdj90 I wonder if you could file a GDPR request to retrieve your data.

I've tried. But for 8 hours @SlackHQ is not answering my requests anymore. I guess they flagged me as a terrorist. I must be scary to them
