One the one hand, it's a sad day for Russians whoes only outlook on the world was the Internet, as this seems to be one of the main connectivity providers.

On the other hand, I really have a hard time believing that they exited because of the moral aspect. I'm suspecting that there is more to the story.

They cite heightened security risks. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was also economic issues (i e. they would no longer be paid for their services).

I would genuinely like to see a more educated guess on the matter.
