Lmao. You're mixing things up. They stopped working with Russian bloggers, not with a hostile authoritarian country (Russia).

Bloggers are easy target. So let's ban them!

Indeed. Its easy for left-wing populists to target bloggers' income than to actually cease business dealings with Russia. Europe continues trading with Russia, and the United States still buys LNG from Putins friends through intermediaries like Gunvor/Chesapeake. Yet, those influenced by populist rhetoric firmly believe that these sanction/limitations are effective against a hostile authoritarian country.
