I love Shutterstock. Is there anybody else who appreciate the service of SS? after reading all these hateful comments, I wonder.
SS is part of my daily bread, for me and my family.
I only love God,my family and neighbor. Because a company give you money for sell your content. It's a relationship win to win. Only business, there is no love. But it's your way of thinking, is respected. This is just my opinion.

I asked the Adobe Stock Latin America and they told me that they would delete all the content from the Venezuela accounts. So, it's very sad.
Really sad. All this work to be gone. Hope that you have a backup of all data that you entered in content?
Yes, i have a backup.
I'm glad to hear that, Alexander.
And yes, George is right. Your situation is sad.
Unfortunately, lots of things are sad in this world today. I'm 73 years old (for context born in the USA the year after WWII ended), and for many reasons I consider this the most depressing time period I've lived through.
I'm especially sorry that problems you did nothing to cause and can do nothing to fix have hit you so directly. You have my sincerest sympathy.
Thank you, very much! and yes, the world today it's very difficult to live, i don't know how it's in countries called first world, but in third world countries with hyperinflation like Venezuela it's like hell. Several countries in South America now have very strong social conflicts, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, Venezuela and others. Communism, socialism, capitalism and neoliberalism, I think they are models that no longer work.

It's sad this situation, "due to the recent Presidential Executive Order in the United States (Executive Order 13884) regarding activities with the government of Venezuela, Adobe is no longer permitted to provide you with access to software and services, or to make your Works available to customers."
I'm Very sad ! 
Have you received this notice from SS or IS or any other US company?
Only from Adobe. Some people say, it is an over compliance of Executive Order 13884 from Adobe.
I'd say that you are correct. Someone in legal went overboard, otherwise how come, none of the others are making that restriction.
Anyway I hope they just disable, until they figure it out, and restore everything soon. Bad enough to lose earnings, but having everything removed would be really bad.
Good Luck

@alexandersr, don't waste your time on politics. You do not have anything to prove or explain to no-one. Instead, you can set some rules e.g. no women, old people or children just to have peace of mind and heart and start documenting whatever happens around you. Valuable and unique pieces of work that you can offer for licensing when this story come to an end. If not previously as live feed from your country. Adobe might cut strings but e.g. news agencies need material to show the news. Best wishes and stay safe.
Thank you, very much!

I cannot understand it, if the media says that the sanctions are against the government of Nicolas Maduro and they repeat it again and over again. This have been also said by Senator Marco Rubio and the same president of the United States of America Donald Trump. So why Adobe says that ordinary citizens and businesses are also sanctioned, I don't understand.
While the Right (mostly far-right) repeats the word "socialism" over and over again. Those same people don't realize(or maybe they do) they are contributing to the ongoing threat of increasing fascism in the US. These are the same type of companies and people that supported Hitler. Either from fear, ignorance, or willful intent.
I am neither left nor right, I am an ordinary person trying to survive in a socialist country that is going through a strong economic crisis with the greatest hyperinflation in the world. All this result may be due to the mismanagement of the economy by the government of Nicolas Maduro and former President Hugo Chavez. And in recent times to external factors, which have worsened the economic situation.

This have been also said by Senator Marco Rubio and the same president of the United States of America Donald Trump. So why Adobe says that ordinary citizens and businesses are also sanctioned, this is Adobe over compliance for the US Executive Order 13885? I don't understand. I saw this on a web page : Adobe is causing an international stir today after the software giant announced that it would be deactivating all accounts in Venezuela due to a US Executive Order issued back in August. The news was quietly published in a support article uncovered by Bleeping Computer, but journalists and Venezuelan creatives alike are baffled by Adobes justification. On their support page, Adobe cites US Executive Order 13885 as the reason for this move; however, as several publications have already pointed out, there doesnt seem to be anything in the text of that document that prevents Adobe from doing business with individuals in Venezuela. The Executive Orderwhich you can read in full belowhas to do with Blocking Property of the Government of Venezuela and specifically defines Government of Venezuela in such a way that your average photographer or graphic artist should not be included in the imposed sanctions. Yet, Adobes support page claims that the practical effect of [Executive Order 13885] is to prohibit almost all transactions and services between U.S. companies, entities, and individuals in Venezuela. Worse yet, Adobe says the Executive Order prevents them from offering refunds to users who have purchased the software, writing: We are unable to issue refunds. Executive order 13884, orders the cessation of all activity with the entities including no sales, service, support, refunds, credits, etc. https://petapixel.com/2019/10/08/adobe-blocks-all-users-in-venezuela-to-comply-with-us-executive-order-cant-offer-refunds/

Lo lamento mucho, pero se trata de una orden ejecutiva del presidente de los Estados unidos y Adobe, como empresa estadounidense, est obligada a cumplirla bajo pena de fuertes sanciones y problemas con la administracin. La orden afecta tanto al Gobierno venezolano como a sus ciudadanos y empresas, sin distincin de afiliaciones o simpatas polticas. Por ahora no hay nada que se pueda hacer, ms que esperar que haya algn cambio por parte de la administracin. Un cordial saludo, Raul Ceron Adobe Artist Relations ENGLISH TRANSLATED WITH GOOGLE TRANSLATOR Hello Alexander, Thank you for contacting us. If you have any other questions, or to update your case, please reply to this message. I am very sorry, but this is an executive order from the president of the United States and Adobe, as an American company, is obliged to comply with it under penalty of heavy penalties and problems with the administration. The order affects both the Venezuelan Government and its citizens and businesses, without distinction of affiliations or political sympathies. For now there is nothing that can be done, other than waiting for some change from the administration. A cordial greeting, Raul Ceron Adobe Artist Relations  ADOBE 3 by Alexander Snchez, on Flickr

All of which doesn't help the OP.
I hope you get a reply from Adobe accepting that your contract is with Canada therefore there is no reason for you to be cut off from their software and stock sales.
Failing that, I hope your sales pick up at your other outlets.
Thank you, very much!

Sorry this happened to you @alexandersr and any other photographers/artists in your country. Did any other US based agencies send you a letter as well? Like Shutterstock?
This type of bullying from the US president will only hurt the US citizens and US companies in the long run. Many countries and companies will look elsewhere for a more stable business partner and the US will lose it's financial dominance in the world because of actions like these.
I think 80% of Adobe's and shutterstock's content comes for Russia.(Anyone please let me know if this percent is wrong) I wonder if any future sanctions on Russia and it's citizens would cut the size of those agencies catalogs.
Thanks you, very much. Only Adobe has sent me a letter. I agree with you, a lot of russian are contributors on microstock agencies. Things are getting worse in Venezuela. People are running away, as you can watch on some Youtube news channels.

You need to draw a more personal response from them as I am sure that they know they have no legal basis for deactivating your account. You can also tell them that if by the 28th you account is deactivated I will deactivate mine also, Objowl.
Thank you, very much!

I hope you find a way. I don't like Maduro but I don't find useful the US and European embargos that affect people like you. Knowing that the corrupt are a few.

Sanctions do not work by applying them to ordinary people. Look at Cuba, they are still communists and they have the Castros already 60 years in power. I don't know if all foreign companies are going to apply the same thing Adobe and Oracle did. Put everyone in the same bag.
Sometimes I think that ordinary people for governments are nothing more than disposable pieces, which they use to achieve their goals and then discard them.
From what I have read ordinary people are not the target of these sanctions, besides which your contract is with Adobe Canada, which has narrower targets and you are not supposed to be collateral damage. This is the link to the Canadian sanctions related to Venezuela https://www.international.gc.ca/world-monde/international_relations-relations_internationales/sanctions/venezuela.aspx?lang=eng
I would push Adobe Canada to give you a specific valid reason why they have disabled your account as the sanctions do not apply in your case.
I received this email from Adobe. And you're right. It's Adobe Canada, because I always see it in the payments that are made to me in Paypal. However, in the email it says they will delete my account on October 28 th, 2019.  adobe stock by Alexander Snchez, on Flickr

Alexander, can you travel to Colombia and get a Colombian ID? After our local elections you can start to have one in Ccuta.

It's a little difficult for me. I live in Caracas. If i live in Zulia or Tachira states, they are border states, i would be Immediate and reasonable option. I have a regular job that pay a crap salary per hours, i only can travel on weekends, if i travel to Cucuta Colombia or Brazil it should be on road by bus. Some airlines no longer provide services and those that are still tickets are very expensive. I use microstock in order to survive, getting some extra money, also i have a relative in another country, who help me. Survive the economic difficulties in Venezuela. Inflation in Venezuela is the highest in the world. Venezuelans are fleeing to other countries, since it is difficult to live here.

Ordinary people are disposable for governments. It seems to have always been that way. Ordinary people are simple pawns that are sacrificed in their chess game.

You have until October 28, 2019, to access your Adobe account, at which point your account will be deactivated and your Works will no longer be available to you or to customers through Adobe. Therefore, before this date:
My English are not that good
Does "your work will no longer be available to you" mean termination?
Deactivation could be negotiable with contributors
willing to collect royalties after this suspention end
and leave files up and selling as normal but no payouts.
"You have until October 28, 2019, to access your Adobe account, at which point your account will be deactivated and your Works will no longer be available to you or to customers through Adobe. Therefore, before this date: " I don't know if Adobe will delete all content.

I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, in order
to take additional steps with respect to the national emergency declared
in Executive Order 13692 of March 8, 2015 (Blocking Property and Suspending Entry of Certain Persons Contributing to the Situation in Venezuela),
as amended, as relied upon for additional steps taken in subsequent Executive
Orders, and in light of the continued usurpation of power by Nicolas Maduro
and persons affiliated with him, as well as human rights abuses, including
arbitrary or unlawful arrest and detention of Venezuelan citizens, interference
with freedom of expression, including for members of the media, and ongoing
attempts to undermine Interim President Juan Guaido and the Venezuelan
National Assemblys exercise of legitimate authority in Venezuela, hereby
order:
Speaking about human rights abuses, arbitrary and unlawful arrests and detention, etc, etc, he has no problems with the Saudi King and his government killing American residents, chopping and dissolving their bodies... 
The Nicolas Maduro government is very ruthless with the opposition. Same as the government of former President Hugo Chavez. Something I don't understand is why apply sanctions to people who are not part of the Nicolas Maduro government.
Salman is ruthless with his opposition, Erdogan is ruthless with his opposition, Putin is ruthless with his opposition.
Problem is that he is only invoking noble principles against Venezuela, while endorsing other dictators, autocrats and murderers. Hypocrisy and double standards.
He simply wants you to suffer even more and turn your anger against Maduro.
I agree in some aspects. But i live in Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro government have not done well, many controls to the population, and has killed some of the people who oppose past demonstrations and political prisoners, he is a kind of dictator.

VPN probably won't work because he still has to give paypal or bank account which are both revealing country where owner is from. But maybe is worth to try.
You are right, I misread the initial post.
It is feaking cruel to punish regular citizens for whatever their government is doing. It is absolutely inhumane.
I think the same. I am not a government official of Nicolas Maduro. I have no links with the Nicolas Maduro government. I am not their partner or supporter.

As an American, I offer you my sincere apologies and good wishes going forward.
Please know that many millions of us are unhappy with the status quo here and working hard to change it.
As millions of us are very happy with the status quo in America and are working to keep America Great.
Sorry, alexandersr, the rational among us can't control the worst of society. Yet.
Thanks!
