> Is GitHub going to start verifying citizenship?

As an American company they must presumably already do this to avoid violating sanctions, and least for anyone giving them money. It’s not a huge stretch to imagine they could also do so for free tier users.

I don't think they need to verify citizenship. I think IP geolocation is sufficient to comply with sanctions. That's not going to stop a malicious actor though.
