Virtue signaling is yelling about your virtues without actually getting off your ass and doing something.

This is very different, this is the company sacrificing some of their business to take a moral stance against a fascist regime invading a neighboring sovereign.

I don't care about this war, and all I get from this is that this domain registrar could block me with no notice for an abitrary reason. They (Namecheap) can do whatever they want, but I'll be actively working to deter people from using it.
You're the second person who I've seen admit "I don't care about this war" in these comments. Anticipating a whataboutism, yeah I might not pay attention as much to ones that aren't on the news as much but it literally doesn't take a minute to have a little empathy and if you can't muster that up having any tact at all no one should say that they don't care, just seems pathetic. Good call on using throwaway though
They always could (and in the past they have to individuals). Any provider can, but at least now we know one that for certain will.
Exactly, thank you for pointing that out.
This is far from arbitrary.
