I run a USA based SaaS and was mistakenly caught up in Auth0's 'sanctions'. 0. Production servers deleted 1. No logs, notifications or any indications of the issues 2. Can't get ahold of support on the free plan 3. Spend 1-2 weeks frantically trying to restore access to our customers 4. Find a random Auth0 support thread of someone who had the same issues 5. Auth0s response was to submit an affadavit to their legal t…
Oh, nice, my company is just integrating Okta. Is Cuba still being punished for daring to host Soviet missiles? I think the way we've treated them is really terrible.
our new Tutmoses is AUKUS + EU.
But the story repeats itself.

To make it unattractive to the current occupier.
Aren't companies just going to ban the entirity of Ukraine, due to it being easier than finding out if your clients are connected to Russia or in a Russia-controlled area, resulting in an outcome undesired by the Ukrainian gov?

We (France) had contracts in Iran. The US decided that Iran is bad. So far so good. Then the US said that everyone must leave Iran, and if they do not, their presence in the US will be harmed and they will not be allowed to trade in USD. We asked the EU for help. The EU said that this is really [bad|unfriendly|unethical|immoral|whatever] of the US to behave that way and that we are, collectively, definitely offended.…
The US only has this power because everyone relies on the USA to do everything. Stop relying on the US and we can stop caring about how the US treats the rest of the world. Being gay is illegal in some parts of the world but my gay friends don't care because they don't do business with those countries, don't participate in any commerce that does business in those countries, etc. Your country will cease being bound by…
If USA starts treating other countries in a biblical "don't do to others what you don't like to be done to you" sense, the world would be a much better and safer place for everyone.
Do these sections even slow them down?

I don't get it. If we're insisting that Crimea, Lugansk and Donetsk are Ukraine and the people are Ukranian, then why block/sanction people there who have no control over the situation?
Two reasons: - To inconvenience the institutions of the occupier just in that area (Why just there? To avoid removing their incentives to change and to avoid crippling your own companies who provide a service there. If you sanction the occupier fully, they'll double down, perceive it as an escalation, and your own companies will be significantly hurt. They'll find an alternative, and once they do, they won't need you…

I think if you want to take part in discussions like this you should either inform yourself a bit beforehand, or enter them with an open mind. Otherwise you’re going to blunder in with clown shoes on and make yourself look like a conservative talk radio show caller

So that is your definition of "restricting" -- not expanding?
The voting rights of those individuals were restricted, as gp said. You're rephrasing it to make it sound like its something materially different, yet it's the same thing that goes against the spirit - and likely the letter - of the law.
"Desantis won by tight margins [..] and has consistently worked to gerrymander and restrict voting rights for those who'd vote against him."
When pressed for details on this bizarre claim, it was pointed out that voting rights for felons was not expanded and that the status quo remained under Desantis. Thus he only refused to expand voting rights.
Now you are trying to rephrase the original claim to make it appear to be less false than it is, when all you need to do is scroll up to see the original claim.
