Not only. Basically US said (like France with Durov), you are either with us or against us. This will have a big influence on open source and trust in existing software distribution channels.

It's not really their fault. It's Biden's fault really. They are required to be in compliance with the US' sanctions. Biden's executive order explicitly called out Software contributions. And due to a Northern California court case from 2017 any contributions to GPL'd software is liable
