OK, so let them block you. What the fuck is that gonna do? A country wants to get pissy, let them get pissy. And while they’re getting pissy, give the people who live there directions on how to get a VPN and bypass their government and its laws.

If you want your site reachable that’s fine, but if you want to operate as a legal business with a local operation and all that entails, you need to follow local laws.

it doesn’t matter where you’re based; if you’re operating in a country, you follow the laws of that country.

Or you play a cat-and-mouse game with the authorities in that country as they try to block access to your servers. Depending on your moral values this might be preferable to blindly following the laws of authoritarian regimes.
It’s really the country you’re based in that matters the most.
