⚡️🇮🇷 NEW - Duolingo English Test will no longer be available in Iran or to users presenting Iranian IDs — even if they take the test abroad.

It is a sanctions-related restriction following OFAC’s suspension of Iran General License G, which had allowed certain educational services, including standardized testing.

The impact is significant for Iranian students and applicants.

DET was one of the cheapest and most accessible English tests.

This is ridiculous! All the sanctions are bullshit. You want to block trade? Declare war, or go into piracy. Both almost always the wrong choice, but they are ‘skin-in-the-game’ choices. This is what Imperial overreach looks like, plebs.

Duolingo promotes woke LGBT nonsense. Iran is better off without it.

In 2022, add polluted, ultra enshittified Duolingo also joined one-sided war-mongering against Russian, citing Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine as the reason. Shouldn't they focus on teaching languages instead of political activism?
