He probably isn't too bothered by the sanctions given his comments about his Finnish nationality being a reason why he opposes Russian aggression. But still, it seems at the moment he's just trying to follow the law.
I agree, and I mean to say that following the law is a political statement in the same way that him standing up and protesting by not following the law would be a political statement. We're all political actors; it's just that the amount of power we have to enact political change varies.
Fair points. I guess I happen to think Linus's action is fair since I think the sanctioned companies are thought to be supporting Russia's invasion in some way.
