If it's true, then this is so unfair that I literally wanna scream... Android, Golang, Angular.js, Chromium, are all open-source. Why the hell they are blocking access is beyond me. Are they really forced to do this???

Because it is an American law. Now, if the source was forked and hosted in another country, people might be able to access it. Of course then the access would be up to the host country and the destination country

They've only blocked access to documentation and their servers, it should be easy to mirror it somewhere else.
