Their comment is technically valid.
The timing of the block is bad though. It'd be great if they could comment on the timing.

#14The flow of money seems to be one major battleground in this war.
The biggest sanctions so far are disallowing to exchange funds with some russian banks. And the "nuclear option" is to disallow Russia from using the SWIFT system.
What are the chances that this conflict will completely change how trading is done between countries?
Could the USA, Europe, South Korea etc simply "nullify" all Russian holdings of their currency? I guess it is just some numbers on computers the respective countries have control over?

#15It is incredible how easy it is for Russia to spread their misinformation about their invasion on Ukraine without any bans or blockades, I have been reporting multiple times accounts that were clearly created by trolls to spread FUD and none of them "was breaking community standards".
On the other hand perfectly factual posts are regularly deleted from groups that track situation on Ukraine and do this in a honest way without pro-soviet bias, e.g the posts from Polish Obrona Pro (Defence Pro) Facebook group are deleted randomly, users are threaten to be banned without any explanation, except "blah, blah community standards".
From what I see all those "algorithms" and "AI" and "moderators" that are supposed to filter out spam are very easy to game by the party with sufficient resources.

#17So essentially the problem is they're sticking to their "violence is bad" policy when in this specific situation violence is maybe not bad.
> when in this specific situation violence is maybe not bad.
I'm pretty sure Russia would say the same thing if you ask them about their situation. That's the problem once you bring in subjectivity.
That being said, tolerating the account for a few more days would've probably been a better play.
EDIT: Just to be very clear, I'm not condoning Russian aggression in any way. My point is that not funding a war is an acceptable choice, since it's very easy to be wrong and a sure way to bring human suffering.

#18If their policy is to not allow funding for military stuff, I don't really see the issue?

#19If anyone wants to support Ukraine defense directly, please use:
https://ukraine.ua/news/support-the-armed-forces-of-ukraine/ or https://ukraine.ua/news/donate-to-the-nbu-fund/
this is a bit of a hassle, as UA government agencies can accept donations only through wire transfers, but that's just a few clicks in the banking app anyway.
