I'm incredibly proud to have Namecheap as my domain registrar. I wish there was more business I could send your way. Not many companies would stand this their staff in this way. Thank you Rick and everyone else! --Martin

#874Please remove Canadian sites too. Trudeau is a known dictator. Shouldn't you be against him committing human rights abuses?
The Supreme court of NZ also found their PM was committing outrageous human rights abuses. will you block them as well?
Stop acting like an arm of the US administration. You provide domains. Stay in your lane or be consistent you hypocrites.

Re: Namecheap: Russia Service Termination
#876In most governments that work where people can affect change these kinds of squeezes and the sanctions might even lead to a coup or real change ... but what I know about Russia is that Putin's grasp on power is so iron-clad that nothing will change. This only hurts innocent bystanders.
Nobody wins in a war only the arms dealers do.

#878"We're not deplatforming you, but basically, you can't use this platform, and if you were, please get off the platform"
This is truly the darkest timeline. What happened to "information wants to be free"? Your just participating in making yet another gulag archipelago.
Re: Namecheap: Russia Service Termination
#879We 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…
Donating all income from Russian users to the Ukrainian war efforts or refugee relief efforts would have seemed like a much more satisfying (and effective!) way to go about this.
This is the path my company has chosen.
Re: Namecheap: Russia Service Termination
#880I will respond to this one. It's good that you tried to fight the regime. Clearly it wasn't enough. You live in society, not in the woods. The majority decides how all live - like in any other country. In your country majority decided not to overthrow dictatorship. As result, minority suffers. So here is your answer.
Most of people here has no any experience of fighting against even a soft authoritarian regime. You just don't have a clue how it looks like where the police officers beat you in the chamber in the night and you are screaming and nobody help you, they torture you putting a bottle in your anus and smashing your teeth. It's completely immoral to blame people they are fighting not enough, you don't know NOTHING about it…
I live in Ukraine, I was on Maidan in 2014. So I know how it is.
Russians on the other hand don't. The are constantly afraid while in Ukraine we are ready to risk lives for freedom and democracy.
