Instant approval achieved merely by switching affiliation to a US university—is this open source or politics?

I ran a test by creating a new account.
I simply changed my identity from a researcher at a Chinese university to one at a US university, and boom—instant approval.

To be honest, this is absurd. It's disappointing to see that specific geopolitical affiliations seem to be a hidden requirement for access. Has the open-source community officially adopted ideological screening now?

just so so
