This is quite unprofessional of them. Unless the jurisdiction specifically forbids it, taking sides like this and kicking out their paying customers with little notice is nothing but opportune posturing that reeks of deplatforming. Don't take out your grievances on already subjugated population.

- tharne 5y agoThis isn't a business or political issue for them. See the response from the CEO in this discussion. They have employees on the ground in Ukraine who's lives are in danger right now. Given that, I understand why they are not that concerned about the fairness of it.
- xfitm3 5y agoThis is the real consequences of cancel culture. It's convenient until it comes up against your own personal beliefs.
- NamecheapCEO 5y agoCancel culture doesn't usually involve government war crimes. I am anti woke myself but pro genocide I am not.

- sattoshi 5y agoMy apologies. My emotions have been getting the better of me lately. It’s difficult to read an endless stream of comments about how I should personally be punished for the actions of someone I despise. I have done nothing wrong, and yet so many people are saying that I should be poor, hungry and destitute unless if I die trying to take down Putin.
- dang 5y agoYes, I know. And it's not ok. It's hard to hold the complexity of these situations at the best of times, and when people are feeling stressed, afraid, and so on, capacity for that plummets further. Then we start feeling like empathy for the suffering of one person or group means demanding suffering for others.
