  > I will never support any business that decides to go political and start deplatforming/censoring, As it's been frequently lost in this thread, the majority of Namecheap's employees are in Ukraine (>800), so I wouldn't necessarily frame it in the same way. I would first place yourself in their shoes and ask yourself what you would do.

  I moved to Porkbun a while back from Namecheap after Namecheap became the key source of fraudulently registered scam domains on the internet. Namecheap doesn't care to enforce their TOS or the ICANN agreement, which is extremely uncommon. After researching, this is a fact recognised by scammers so it's abused significantly. Apparently the CEO can take action against regular Russians for being Russians, but don't take down phishing domains registered exclusively for and used in SMS scams because... free speech? That's literally the reason given :-) When I spoke about it here[0] the replies were quite interesting and relevant to today. At least one of the people who were defending Namecheap then are now supporting their actions against Russia today, which is quite interesting. Actually reading through an older post[1] would be really interesting to contrast with the replies we're seeing in this thread.
