It's news. That's all that matters.

Also this is actually a pretty unique and interesting scenario. You ever seen a digital embargo of software from a single country imposed on citizens? Not to mention the dignity and rights violations on both sides...

Google Analytics got banned in several European countries comes to mind. I remember some small blogs writing about that, not much else.
