yeah remember the block is because they don't have enough Russian customers to make complying with local data laws worth the cost/effort. They were not banned the were asked to obey the law and they weighed up pros and cons. Normal. Plenty of US sites refuse to let eu citizens view thier content because they don't want to comply with GDPR (which I consider a reasonable set of laws that protect me) Personally I use Yandex for email so the NSA can't get their hands on it and I don't have to continually fight changes in terms and conditions that want to sync my advertising id with Google or Facebook. Fastmail obeying local laws is the correct thing to do. There is no malice in the law as it is written, its just data protection _from_ the US government.
