Personally, I don't think this is the answer. Like, I get it, and it's a sure way to avoid having to deal with all this bs. But at the end of the day, the only people who suffer from this decision are the end users. It's punishing them for something their government has implemented. Doesn't seem right to me.
It is not up to the developer community to take responsibility for the stupid decisions made by their government.
People get the leaders they deserve.
Cutting services as opposed to complying is the better approach, since the other is a endorsement of it without consequences for regions putting it in place.
Things change for the worse overall even for those not subject to living in those regions when there's no consequence to problematic decisions, and just shows those who enacted those changes can keep getting away with it.
Appeasement doesn't tend to work out, and instead has a tendency to have the ideology of the troublesome region spread.
