Cool. When will you ban US customers for their government's continual war crimes? https://truthout.org/articles/the-us-drops-an-average-of-46-...

Or are you just disenfranchising a population in order to gain virtue points?

I imagine the conversation today went something like:

> NamecheapCEO: "What % of our business comes from Russia?"

> Accountant: "It's marginal."

> NamecheapCEO: "Cool. I have a great idea to get some spotlight."

Am I far off?

So, you blame your clients: programmers, webmasters, etc in war crimes.

Got it.

Even I am Estonian, I move away looking for a more sane company.

I would have assumed that to mean, very specifically, that you wouldn't do business with, for example, a Private Military Contractor accused of human rights abuses. The specific business. Not brushing off the individual citizens of an entire country collectively, no matter their agreement with the war, for the issues you have with the country's governance. In some cases, they would have assumed themselves safe with you, in fact, because they were not seemingly aligned with their government and more aligned with Western values, and thought you would be more censorship-resistant. Far from them, I am certain, would be the idea that you would be the first to threaten their domains when they can't even pay for another registrar. (Which is another thing that would have been a good reason for, say, a Russian activist to renew with long 5+ year terms, which... Are you going to refund those? Or just tell them to figure it out?)

I mean, I can understand where you're coming from, but it's a stretch. I would not think that's what the language means in the terms. At all. It would make an activist's day 1000x worse. Imagine if they're right now being detained and can't renew or move their domain (and this is why they took a 5 year term with you!) and they can't even see this email or this discussion. You might make the worst week of their life into a much worse one. It seems bad for business. Just saying. Older netheads expect the net to be censorship resistant, not ban-happy, for what it's worth.
