Why Can't US Citizens US Open Ledger?

[Brekyrself]

OpenLedger provides a web based gateway into the BitShares blockchain along with other business activities.  Basically exchanges/gateways are trying to get their ducks in a row an avoid any government legal issues.

Download or use via https://bitshares.org/ without restrictions.

Hmm.

Another good reason to move to a SmartCoin instead of UIA based model.

Please support by adding liquidity to BitBTC pair.

Just because no one else is talking about this, and there seems to have been no announcement, and I can't find anything about this on Google, I am going to post the exact words that came up so other people can find this if this thread comes up with an answer:

"Thank you for your interest in OpenLedger, but unfortunately US citizens cannot access our site."

Is everyone else in the US getting a message that says US Citizens can't use OL? Because I can't find anyone talking about it, and I just noticed it.
