That would prevent 1.4 billion people from ad-blocking. Not sure if we want to use these kind of blanket measures as a first response.

The logic here is that it's better to block 1 country and keep it working for everyone else than to leave it as it is and break it for everyone.

It's not ideal, but until the problem is fixed/better solutions are found, I think it's a good "first response".

No, it would block 1.4 billion people from that one specific URL.
