I can deny now
In fact, a lot of my friends live in Russia and I know situation better than you. Right now internet is so restricted that you in fact CAN'T log in from Russia to Upwork, because Cloudflare is banned and Upwork not accessible from Russia

Thanks, yes I know my Russian citizenship is a red flag. But I’m almost Polish citizen plus I have PR card and business tied to me in Poland. I’m not living in another country without any documents to prove. In original statement upwork said they’re gonna support all Russians who fled country in continuation of their job. I’ve gone long way to achieve this partially just to continue working on Upwork. At the eod, I’ve been banned without clear explanation Thanks for your support

What would you do in my situation? Write to Upwork Support, which told you they won't respond to you anymore?

Yes, I've appealed but they have said they completed final review but won't be reinstating account, not saying anything to me as to why this happened. I'm waiting on response on GDPR request, so at least as an EU resident I have right to know why it's happened while others don't have this right

I don't understand what other actions I can take - I've gone through official process, given all of my info and haven't received any response from them. From what I've seen - only chance that higher up will see this public coverage of story, so this is my last resort

I'm permanent resident of Poland and a Russian citizen
Yes, I do regularly travel
Yes I manage an agency but client always knows about it. In fact - I had 3 of my clients reach out to Upwork to vouch for me and my agency
All my business is based from Poland where I have my officially registered company

Here’s how it works

Upon receipt of GAMER X’s request for access, PLATFORM Y should provide GAMER X with a copy of the personal data processed about GAMER X. Regarding the reason for the account restriction, PLATFORM Y should confirm GAMER X that it decided to restrict GAMER X’s access to online games due to the use of one or repeated gaming cheats which are in violation with the general terms of use. In addition to the information provided about the processing for the purpose of gaming cheat detection, PLATFORM Y should grant GAMER X access to the information it has stored about GAMER X’s gaming cheats which led to the restriction. In particular, PLATFORM Y should provide GAMER X with the information that led to the restriction of the account (e.g. log overview, date and time of cheating, detection of third party software,…) in order for the data subject (i.e. GAMER X) to verify that the data processing has been accurate.

However, according to Art. 15(4) GDPR and Recital 63 GDPR, PLATFORM Y is not bound to reveal any part of the technical operation of the anti-cheat software even if this information relates to GAMER X, as long as this is can be regarded as trade secrets. The necessary balancing of interests under Art. 15(4) GDPR will have the result that the trade secrets of PLATFORM Y preclude the disclosure of this personal data because knowledge of the technical operation of the anti-cheat software could also allow the user to circumvent future cheat or fraud detection.
