It's news. That's all that matters.

Also this is actually a pretty unique and interesting scenario. You ever seen a digital embargo of software from a single country imposed on citizens? Not to mention the dignity and rights violations on both sides...

Yes, I've seen digital embargoes preventing companies in other countries doing business in mine, because their legal environment differs from ours.

Google Analytics got banned in several European countries comes to mind. I remember some small blogs writing about that, not much else.

I mean, regardless of semantics about whether it's new to us or not, that's still news.
