Hello parisaparvizi1994, Your frustration feels natural and understandable to me. Jan just answered you clearly, but since my words did not help, I'm thinking to try again. Maybe I can do better this time. First though, I must be clear that *I no longer speak for Google*--well, at least not officially <https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/03/technology/google-alphabet-ceo-larry-page-sundar-pichai.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share>--though what I said back then is still true now.
Every country has rules concerning its citizens' actions and potential interactions with other countries. Every company, from Mobarakeh Steel Company to Coca-Cola Inc., has a main office in its home country, such as Iran or the USA. In every case, the company is a "legal person" responsible to obey the laws of its home country as well as any other countries where it does business. When a pair of countries have some disagreement or debate, and it takes the form of restrictions on free trade, then there will be laws shaping, restricting, or preventing commerce, import, export, or even visiting. Many pairs of countries have at least some form of this and such cases, citizens and local businesses are limited in their actions. The United States law includes: *"Title 31 → Subtitle B → Chapter V → Part 560 → Subpart B → §560.204: Prohibited exportation, reexportation, sale, or supply of goods, technology, or services to Iran <https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=895922fb284e52ff24d674f99b8c4dc0&mc=true&node=se31.3.560_1204&rgn=div8>."* These and other regulations are the barriers you feel; barriers that do not mean the companies or people obeying the law are happy about it. Maybe Mobarakeh Steel would like to sell steel in the USA, and in much the same way, Google's stated desire is to share information helpfully with everyone everywhere. Hopefully you can see that it is Google being banned from freely sharing to Iran and not Google banning Iran or its people from information. Michael P.S.
