I personally think you have to strongly consider geo-blocking such corrupt jurisdictions. Refuse web access to them, refuse downloads and updates to people in those jurisdictions, refuse git access and forum access. If your IP shows you are trying to access any of the sites or resources from those corrupt jurisdictions, you are automatically blocked.

It's a very harsh remedy and will be harmful to a lot of users, but these laws include financial penalties that would absolutely destroy any free software project.

This is just my opinion. And of course VPNs would (and should) make it exceptionally easy to bypass the geo-block. I'm living in a jurisdiction that is highly likely to pass such a corrupt law in the near future, so I'd likely have to use a VPN.
