I would hope not. AFAICT Zello is breaking no laws in their home country, and is not breaking Amazon's TOS. Although it wouldn't be the first time I've been disappointed to see a US company bend their rules to accommodate unrealistic requests from dictatorships.

TOS can be amended. This seems more like the sort of thing you hire CloudFlare to handle, not AWS. Why does this service need to operate from "dozens of subnets"/"14 million IP addresses"?

You may have noticed that it is increasingly difficult to use currency or transfer funds as a result of actions to control transfers. Try taking $10,000 out and using it.
