This is just the jumpscare because, technically, such blocking is possible if users rely onL edger's own servers to send transactions, which means using Ledger Live app.
Everyone is forced to use ledger live at least one time, and even more because they need to update firmware
spyware? for their devices.
You mean they could block updates for Ledger devices or apps on them, right?
I don't see an issue with this threat either, as everyone is free to use VPN that masks their country's IP showing Ledger it's not on the sanctions list. So, those who are under sanctions shouldn't worry too much about these "jumpscares."
