[liberationtech] All licenses have been revoked by Norton due to Iran's sanctions!

[Nariman Gharib]

Hi,
I received many reports from Iran which people saying that their Norton
Licenses which bought through someone in outside country or some resellers
inside Iran who access to credit cards have been revoked from Norton.

one of them contacted Norton and they said that we can't speak with you
through phone because we have no business with Iran. [I have a case number
as well.]

​when people are going to Norton website they will see this message below,
before that you should know that US Treasury lifted some sanctions include
selling Anti Virus to Iran about 5,6 month ago.
