So AWS finally lost enough money to the Russian blockade that they caved. Sad.


Russian economy is very very small.

Whatever Amazon's reason is it's not that they lost some Russian banks for a week.


The same technique is being used to prevent censorship in a host of countries, like UAE, that have giant piles of cash and influence, and where blocking AWS/Google would have unacceptable consequences. No one gives a damn about a few Russians.
