It is precisely due to my consideration of uninvolved people (read: the majority of citizens in Russia) that I wouldn't suggest taking such steps until there is legal precedent or pressure from your ISP/hosting provider. On the same note, the discussions in free software communities to let software stop working in Russia via language setting, timezone setting, etc. worry me for that same reason. ~ Jeremy Kescher
