Wonder if the fact that they’re related to NATO, who is at war, have anything to do with it.

  Don't know how Finland's government deal with Ukraine/Russian agenda, but here in Czechia, government acts like totalitarian authority. Blames Putin for every economical problems (there is official guide how to propagate problems with food shortage [1]), they block on DNS level (cz.nic) some websites that, according to government, spread Russian propaganda [2] and also announced that supporting Russian invasion is crime by law and Russia is terrorist state. No wonder, that Tor users in Czechia rised over 60% since 2020, when government use totalitarian practices like state that they trying to fight against. Also overall trust in government is historical low here. 74% citizens disapprove what government does here. [3] Which does not mean that we approve invasion on Ukraine at all. We host far more Ukrainian refugees as we should - over 500 000 which is 5% of Czechia population [4].
