What exactly was the reason to block access from RU originated IP addresses, except personal hateful conduct? Are chinese IPs blocked? Are you ready to block them also such easy, on what basis?
That's absurdly to see because the only open models this tools use and available are foreign only from China developers, american "free" downloadable models presented in minority portion of that market.
That's amazing to see that very old Cloudflare monopoly tools designed for destruction of global Internet by blocking access only from certain countries really used, in that sense no one should be worry when Internet really disintegrated.

As a U.S. company, we are legally required to comply with the sanctions administered and enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. This is a legal requirement and not personal discrimination or even a choice that I would like to apply as you as a person, likely has nothing to do with the geopolitical climate at hand, yet here we are.

While we are committed to open source and global access, this regulatory environment, unfortunately, creates a direct conflict. The access restrictions are a direct consequence of US federal law, not a reflection of a business decision or individual prejudice against you or anyone's location.
