Adobe is shutting down service for users in Venezuela in order to comply with a US executive order issued in August that prohibits trade with the country. The company sent out an email to customers in Venezuela today to let them know their accounts would be deactivated, and posted a support document further explaining the decision.
The British company Transferwise and the US software company Adobe Systems Incorporated will suspend their service in Venezuela at the end of October due to US sanctions, a measure that generated rejection and uncertainty among users of these platforms
