If "guilty by association" is to be applied evenly, we should do the same for genocidal countries like Israel, but that would be absurd. Also, I'm not sure, but I believe Elbakyan is actually a Kazakh citizen.

If Snowden suddenly launched a cryptocurrency now the same skepticism would be prudent.

> but that would be absurd. Would it? I think the case for Israel is stronger than for Russia, even. Not saying you're wrong in principle, but this doesn't seem like a strong argument to me.
