You're struggling to understand because you misunderstand the situation and are probably relying on the HN title instead of reading the 3 short paragraphs in the link. 1) 45,000,000 people are not in bomb shelters. 2) Reading the very short post in the link, you can see that this is more about not deleting the data of Ukrainians that is already on tarsnap if they aren't able to provide payment because of the war. > The last thing I want to do is delete what may be someone's last copy of important data because they can't pay a bill while running for their lives.
