Yeah that’s a fair point, although it’s still a bit… well, funny (not “funny ha ha”) that they even temporarily blocked those extensions. Not sure what Roskomnadzor could have done if Mozilla had refused even a temporary block, at least assuming the foundation doesn’t have any legal entities in Russia which they may well have
Only after it caused a PR flap for them, though

Everyone thinks it’s easy to ignore legal demands. But there is a reason why most abuse isn’t reported to police.

Taking time to assess the consequences before making a rash decision seems legit to me…
@Auzy
Even if there is no legal entities in Russia though, they might have remote workers
