Yes, to everyone who is saying "why don't you block Americans for their war crimes as well?" Maybe they would, if American bombs were falling on their city.

So in "the Russian regime's war crimes and human rights violations in Ukraine", the "in Ukraine" is the important part.
The actual message is "you are our enemy and we don't want to provide services for you" - which is fair enough, but not palatable by current business standards, so they instead couch it in moralistic high-ground terms that they can selectively apply.
It doesn't seem productive to attack the wording. A substantive objection would be more meaningful.
This isn't about some nuance of wording at all. They are claiming A when they actually mean B, and my comment spells that out. Framing it as some trivial attack on wording is disingenuous. By that measure, any criticism of lies, misinformation, false messaging, etc. would become a quibble over wording.
I hope there's some substantive response to my original comment's content too, one that could lead to productive discussion.
