It's a fair point. My impression is that people who are willfully circumventing communication infrastructure restrictions put in place by the government understand there are risks. Even things like circumventing the firewall in China for example. The geopolitical risk is that someone can circumvent and the government will typically go after the company that provides that capability (or the country where that company is headquartered).
