I have seen staff confirm a geo block, but it is late on a Friday and idk their office hours. If they don’t respond to this post, maybe create a topic in Bug Reports & Technical Support asking if they can confirm a geo block next week. They can’t say who requested it, but they may be able to tell you what they would need to lift it.
Example: Nominations Accepted; 3 POI became portals in Ingress; But not in Pokemon Go - #13 by NianticAaron
