Sorry, but you should be happy the whole world and companies are joining your fight. Putin has to be stopped now, that includes some uncool stuff like this and blocking SWIFT.

Easy to say when you are not the target.

Making me use 50% less electricity is one thing. Having to move all my domains would be quite another.

    At least you are not a target for a missile. For a lot of people right now it's the best what they can hope for.

      Ah yes, the "someone else has it worse therefore your concerns are irrelevant" argument.

      This decision will not prevent a single missile from being fired. On the contrary, it will put more power into Russian entities.

      I don't understand, you're saying that the fact a missle is aimed at someone in the Ukraine gives namecheap a license to shit on their paying customers?

I'm there with you, but the opposition is disproportionately reliant on VPNs and foreign cloud hosting. It is required to have any shot at tipping the scales at all. The Twitter and Facebook are blocked already at this point.

Blocking SWIFT was for the little people to suffer, same as what Namecheap is now doing. Russian gas company still uses SWIFT and they are not banned it's all theater by the Germans. Germany and France could have prevented this catastrophe but they choose not to.
