      Iranians right now are using a javascript based proxy to access the internet somewhat, it's what i'm using to access tildes.

      I thought it'd be interesting to share, we don't have access to script.google.com but we do have access to www.google.com, so there's another method to access it and set it up.

      Someone wrote a quick android app for it. link

      It's limited from google's side as they've put a 20,000 requests daily limit on scripts, but it gets us online somewhat and... feels nice, to be able to have a way through.

      We're also using github actions to download files to private repo's and download them from there (releases is still blocked, raw is not) which also seems to have a 2000 minute monthly limit.

      From one side google colab also has Iran sanctioned so we can't access that, but that would be another way to get online aswell.

      From another side we're also using DNS servers to tunnel traffic, but they get blacklisted after the user count goes up.

      How does the USA have jurisdiction over Huawei's alleged sales to Iran?

      Huawei is a Chinese company, not an American company. Sure, the USA has imposed sanctions on trading with Iran - but surely those sanctions would apply only to American companies. How does the U.S. government have jurisdiction over what a Chinese company does?
