You should email their support. I don't think they actually want to terminate your particular account, I think they only want to target people and companies who are actually in Russia (so they looked for Russian addresses and payment methods on file).

Their communication on this issue was terrible in many ways, but honestly I can't blame a company who's literally being shelled today for missing the mark once.

That’s wrong as both statements are false for me. They just simply queried the citizenship field on registration, I assume.

I’ve already contacted to their support, but meanwhile I am looking for the provider who respects my privacy as well as doesn’t give a shit about the nationality, skin color, religion etc.

And even if I lived in Russia, why would the private company would terminate the contract? Just because they wanted to? They just ruined their reputation and I wonder if it is a matter of discrimination and a reason for the lawsuit?

  • Because they don't want to deal with people who are paying for the bombs falling on them, even if it's not those people's fault. They're a private company so they get to make such decisions. You can always go to some faceless IPO-d megacorp that doesn't care about anything except profits.

  • You have made three statements and not a single one express any sympathy with their situation. Only your own victimhood and one blanket statement you don't support the government. Their employees are being shelled with cluster bombs by your government as we speak.

    I think it is time you face reality that the world is going to start to hold the Russian people accountable for their governments actions. I feel sympathy with the Russian people since many don't support this war or even their government but at some point they are going to have to get uncomfortable and take risks and stand up to the government.

    • From the day 1 I publicly made a statement on my Fb and LinkedIn and offered relocation help for Russian and Ukrainian people. And as I’ve said earlier, I don’t live in Russia, I don’t support “my” government and their actions.

      There are thousands of Russians who got into jail for the protests.

      How dare you blame people just because of the place they were born?
