For me the last straw was them just banning all Russian customers. I kinda get it, but I can't support that. I just want companies to provide services or goods in exchange for money. Not everyone has to save the world

Kinda hard providing service to X nationals while hiding in basement of your office building because X is attacking the very city you are in.

Namecheap had exactly that.

I'd say the ban was 100% justified.

I don't see the connection between a country and its (civilian) nationals. But to each their own, I mostly just don't want my domains to be suspended because of things my government might do or say or whatever

The nationals are the country and should take responsibility for their country's actions because it's effectively their actions.

Ah, yes, because those X barbarians live only in their X country and never ever leave it (except to attack the very city you are in).

Also the whole thing starts to stink when the company based in Phoenix, Arizona suddenly have 1700 staff nowhere in the US.

Well, of course, because it never can happen for you, because you are a proud member of a democratic civilization which never partakes in the wars, never brings someone to heel, never ever can be brought to ICC. Right?

if you have no connection to France you cant expect to be able to use that domain. The same is true pretty much for all national domains. Also eu. https://eurid.eu/en/register-a-eu-domain/brexit-notice/
