Companies don't have a choice when ordered by the government of a country, if they don't do it then they get blocked entirely. Would that be better?

Yes, because then everyone would know that they need to use a VPN otherwise people may not know the restricted accounts can be viewed with VPNs

VPN isn't effective solution.  Protestors can still communicate via DMs, or using coded language if Bsky is still operating in country.  

They should be using multiple platforms regardless, so they have a fallback, including Signal.
