With that logic, the US contributes should be expelled too. We have more examples of US folks being served NSLs than Russians.

Its an American-based venture, owned and operated by American businessmen. They're not going to burn their own guys, even if some of them are spooks (no evidence that anyone on the core dev team is a spook, but crazy to think the FSB would have people in and the Five-Eyes guys wouldn't).

I do wonder how long until we start seeing mainstream code-forks that span geopolitical regions. Will we have a Digital Iron Curtain, with BRICS countries doing their own FOSS branches independently of NATO block?

Many European companies canceled contracts with US companies because of the NSL risk. I don't think the devide is NATO. The US laws are a threat to security and privacy everywhere

I'd be curious to see who they were. My guess is that they are relatively small and easy enough to circumvent without breaking ties with America as a whole.

But I'm not seeing Exxon, Boeing, or Microsoft pull out of Europe, despite being deeply embedded with sanctioned regimes.

Biden literally introduced legislation to prevent it because it was a mass exodus. The companies you mentioned are US companies. I mean EU companies won't use US MSPs because of the risk

All that says is that there's a lot of people ITT who don't know what a downvote button is for, and the mods aren't doing their job
