- leosarev 4mo agoThis page is blocked for me from server's end. I'll try later using VPN, but looks like it won't work :-)
- altairprime 4mo agoDepends on whether LE is compelled to terminate service to BGP AS numbers hosted in U.S.-sanctioned countries, and whether LE continues operating out of the U.S..
- trumpdong 4mo agoIt works like this. The US gov sends LE a nastygram saying they must terminate service to sanctioned entities. LE either does that or several people go to jail. The USgov doesn't care how it happens, as long as they can't find any evidence that any sanctioned entities are LE customers.
- piskov 4mo agoThey already revoced certificates for some russian sites
- pratyahava 4mo agoany details on that? links to people reporting it?

- account42 4mo agoDepending on how you are supposed to read "You agree to use Let’s Encrypt Certificates and any services provided by or on behalf of ISRG in compliance with applicable U.S. export control and sanctions laws and regulations." it could mean that you are not even allowed to use LE certificate to provide services to sanctioned entities as a random non-US company/person.
