Earlier this month I have confirmed that https://ploopy.co is shipping electronics to #russia.
To confirm that it's not a fluke, I have sent an E-Mail under my name posing as a commie and seems like their CEO has answered. 🤡
@EU_Commission do you have buddies in #Canada by chance? This stuff is not ok.
@jonn @EU_Commission "Hi comarades" is not «posing as a commie», and these are freaking audiophile headphones and weirdo mice.
Manually assembled with dumbest, not-rocket-guiding electronics ever.
John, please.
@cab404 oh no! Anyway.

@cab404 I mean, I presume that the mice they sell do have microcontrollers in them. Currently some people from Latvia with suspiciously slavic surnames are facing jail sentences for selling microcontrollers. (See #ALFA situation I reported on).
I normally:
- Gather information,
- If the company is in the EU, I use my own channels to report,
- If the company is outside EU, I just shitpost and hope for best
@jonn I don't think they send parts. They send devices. And if I've read embargo docs correctly (which I probably did not, so I've booped kagi's fastgpt https://kagi.com/fastgpt?query=Do+headphones+fall+under+canadian+embargo+with+russia%3F).
Mice, however, may fall under that embargo (https://kagi.com/fastgpt?query=Do+computer+mice+fall+under+canadian+embargo+with+russia%3F)
@jonn Hmm, it actually might fall under https://www.international.gc.ca/world-monde/international_relations-relations_internationales/sanctions/goods_technologies-marchandises_technologies.aspx?lang=eng
