This is terrible! Is the ban/block based on your IP address? or the location field in your profile? or something else?
I think that's the worst part, apparently it isn't IP/geolocation based because there is at least one guy who lives and works in Finland that got blocked: twitter.com/Farzad_YZ/status/11546...
His GitHub says he is in Helsinki as well, github.com/farskid
And it's a ban on your account, so even if you left Iran you wouldn't be unbanned.
It might be where you created your account.
It's probably the country of origin you defined where signing up. IP and nationality is very different and can't be relied on.
