So where is this censorship going to stop? Are they going to say we are no longer accepting users from country A, B, C, D? Or claim the government ordered them to censor a list of addresses?

Thinking realistically — it's not going to stop. And yea, I'm pretty sure it's either due to government intervention or that they're taking extra safety precautions because they expect the government to interfere. It totally sucks, but I really don't blame them for the decision.

It definitely had to come from somewhere, external pressure, etc. As long as the devs are known, and their tech (in this case CJ) is used for activity enforcement's come to know of, they're going to have to comply (or face some very unsavoury penalty to be sure).

MetaMask I expected, not Wasabi so soon but yeah, probably naive to think that they could have gone on without getting tapped. Sucks ass, but we're going to have to increase the threshold for our worse expectations.
