I’m increasingly concerned about being screwed by non-OSS vendors. Imagine a use case like Slack. Say you have an employee that goes to visit a family member in Venezuela & connects to the company Slack. Slack has been given a mandate to terminate accounts for people in Venezuela by the Trump administration, and now your key employee is cut off from communication, or perhaps your Slack account gets flagged.


HR/ The company should be providing advice on going to "at risk" areas.

Also if your going to china take a disposable phone and a laptop that is clean ands can be wiped on return.


That not a non-OSS issue. That's a SAAS issue.

Even if your SAAS was OSS, they could still deny you access as you're inhibiting their server, not your own.


Fair point.
