I've always held the opinion that there's several billion people on this planet, you're not going to meet everyone and it's equally unrealistic to expect to be universally liked by everyone you meet. But when you start legislating shit, that's when I have a problem.

Here's the post from the researchers who uncovered the vulnerability (who are security researchers doing their job, and who have disclosed this mess about as well as you can do – they're not the bad guys here).

The moment a vulnerability like this is announced, a race starts between people looking to exploit it, and those needing to secure their systems. This one is a particular nightmare as lots of background and largely forgotten bits of infrastructure use it. Expect to see lots of hack-and-leaks soon.

So…given how high risk this vulnerability is, and how many possible attack vectors (routes in for an attacker) there are, some places are doing the equivalent of yanking out the power cord until the dust settles. That could prove to be a very good idea, tbh. It's gonna be an interesting few days.
