Did he visit Iran and forget to uninstall Slack before he went?

It's not about visiting a country, it's about where your Slack account was created. If you created your Slack account from an embargoed country, regardless of your citizenship or ethnicity, they will probably disable it.

He states that he created the account in Canada [1], though may have used it from Iran.
