Dunno that sounds vaguely like virtue signaling to me. Also, I'm personally not a big fan of a russian company MITMing my company's traffic.
Being a man of principal is not virtue signalling.
Ah yes, when you're doing it's "being a man of principal", when they do it it's "virtue signaling". I fail to see how this is any different than chinese people buying huawei in droves to "show support" for huawei/china/meng wanzhou.
