If they're willing to terminate service for political reasons in this case, who's to say they won't do it in the future for other political reasons? Here begins the slippery slope of Namecheap terminating service to those it deems "wrong". Been a happy, confident Namecheap user for a long time. Now I'm not so confident.

I mean... I would be OK if namecheap decides to terminate the service for other countries that threat the world with nuclear bombs. I think that's a whole different level.

We haven't blocked the domains, we are asking people to move. There are plenty of other choices out there when it comes to infrastructure services so this isn't "deplatforming". I sympathize with people that are not pro regime but ultimately even those tax dollars they may generate go to the regime. We have people on the ground in Ukraine being bombarded now non stop. I cannot with good conscience continue to support…

This is still 'de-platforming', even though there are alternatives. There are alternatives to every service that has 'de-platformed' people, but it doesn't change what you're doing.

I am from a third party country that has absolutely nothing to do with this war, but my thought after seeing Russian civilians complain about these policies is that, they should stand up, go out of their home and complain to their government. The reason why all the world is doing this is because their freaking leader (Putin) has threatened nuclear war, and is pushing for war, invading a country. Like... hello? you ha…

putin is supposedly bunkered up in ural. not sure that population can actually achieve something. best shot is putin's sudden death from "stroke"

In some places including Russia, there is punishment for speaking up and trying to fix things.

Enough is enough for Russia and customers from there. This is just a beginning, You and your Hitler=Putin started WW3 in Ukraine. Your leader is telling the world that he is ready to nuke Ukraine or any NATo country or US if someone will try to do anything to him or help save people in ukraine that your soldiers are killing. So yea, if businesses and society won't step in and stop sponsoring Russia which is killing and bombing people, so any business that don't want to touch bloody money, they should stop providing all services to Russia. Feel the pain for not doing anything with your Hitler with nukes and causing a war in europe.

So... what do you think will happen if everybody (including bureaucrats) went on strike until the war/invasion ended?

My domains will be moving from your service as a result.
