In the latest developments related to technological restrictions, Google has warned Iranian developers that their user accounts may be deleted soon. This move, apparently taken to comply with US sanctions against Iran, has caused a wave of concern among Iranian programmers and developers.
According to Ideaagency, according to emails sent to users, Google has announced that accounts related to Iranian developers who use the company’s services to publish their applications will be blocked or deleted if they do not comply with certain conditions and rules. The message also emphasizes that access to data and information associated with these accounts may be lost forever.
Concerns of Iranian developers
In response to this news, Iranian developers have expressed their concern about the consequences of such an action. Many of them depend on platforms such as Google Play to provide their applications and services to the global market. Cutting off access to this platform could have serious impacts on small and medium-sized businesses that make a living selling apps and providing digital services.
One of the developers says about this: “This action not only deprives us of access to international markets, but also causes a lot of our efforts in the field of software development to be wasted.”
Possible consequences
This action by Google could have wide-ranging consequences, including:
1. Reducing the income of Iranian developers who are dependent on the international market.
2. Increasing the technological gap between Iran and other countries of the world.
3. Limited job opportunities for programmers and entrepreneurs in the field of technology.
Alternative solutions
Despite these limitations, experts recommend that Iranian developers look for alternative solutions. Using native markets, transferring data to non-American platforms, and creating independent application distribution networks are among the solutions that can partially reduce the damage of this action.
At the same time, activists in the field of technology and digital rights emphasize that limiting access to global tools and services will not only lead to technological backwardness, but also contradict the principles of free access to information.
Request for review
Iranian developers and some organizations related to technology have asked Google to review this decision and consider its human and economic effects. However, it seems that legal and technical measures to maintain access to global platforms will become one of the priorities of the Iranian technology community.
