If conditions cannot be guaranteed, the court can uphold his appeal and deny the order.
Whether or not that ruling would in turn be appealed by the US DoJ to the UK Supreme Court is moot. Ditto chance of success if it is. Between impinging on the right to freedom of expression & the horrors of the US penal system, extradition is likely illegal under UK human rights law.
Am tired, but bit confused at sequence of events.
Did Russia ban Mozilla from offering specific extensions, whereupon Mozilla removed for Russian users the banned extensions?
Or…
Did Russia ban Mozilla from offering some undefined type of extension, whereupon Mozilla removed for Russian users any which seemed to fall under the ban under an abundance of caution until they could assess each & reinstate those which did not fit the ban?
Or, more worryingly, but maybe implied by the supposed temporary intent of the ban…
Did Russia ban Mozilla from offering specific extensions, whereupon Mozilla temporarily removed for Russian users the extensions in order to give Russia the ability to track or otherwise meddle with Russian users of those extensions… or to enable Russia to interfere with the extensions’ code for their own ends?
I feel I can make a reasonable guess, but there’s a fairly big safety issue here depending on what happened.
Anyone dissenting within an authoritarian regime knows to exercise extreme caution, but always good to put out reminders to have multiple layers of protection, so if one fails you are still ok.
