The only reason I can think of (NB: IANAC applies) is that riseup is
domicilied in the US which sends all sorts of red lights lighting up on
the panels of more hardcore politburo coders. In fact I think it's not a
very good reason to block since they are quite robust at defending
privacy. But then, of course they operate under US law ...
