I think there needs to be a counter effort against these people. Some entity like the EFF should maintain a database of people who have engaged in protestware so that there can exist APIs which will check for whether any of your dependencies come from these blacklisted people... or if you are about to hire them.

Not really a fan of exorcism, but it would pose a security risk. The probability it will hit the wrong people is immense to almost certain. Maybe even someone organizing protest within Russia. But random acts against Russian developers is an infantile form of protest in my opinion.
