can someone make a quick intro to what happends for microsoft to block organicmaps account ?
Going by their Mastodon account, seems they were erroneously detected as "from a US-sanctioned region" and it took too long for said error to be resolved, so they just made the switch.
"US sanctioned region" is russia. The developer team fully consist of russian citizens, some of them are still in russia.
Aren't they now based in Estonia since when the company was established?
They can be de jure in Estonia and de facto wherever they want.
E.g OnlyOffice claim to be based in baltics too, but the development office is still in Nizhniy Novgorod(russia).
De jure is what's good enough for me. I am not interested in vindicating ordinary Russians for something they couldn't even vote for.
