But you will now be interested to hear that also my course (and anything else Coursera offers) has been classified, if not a weapon that could be misused, then at least a “service” and as such must not fall into the hands of anybody happening to live in the countries that the United States government doesn’t like. I have thus been informed that my students in Cuba, Syria, Sudan and my homeland will no longer be able to access this course. I leave it to you to ponder whether this course is indeed a weapon and if so against what and what possible benefit the average American citizen could possibly derive from restricting access to it. Be this as it may, I invite those students affected to use services such as hola.org or VPN routers to circumvent these restrictions. Let me reiterate that I am appalled at this decision. Please note that no-one at Coursera likely had a choice in this matter!
