@daringfireball not operating in a criminal terrorist state that engages in war crimes against humanity on a daily basis would be the correct moral position. There cannot be that much revenue to squeeze. Walking away couldn’t be easier.

@andres @daringfireball Yes. Just as McDonald’s and numerous other US corporations decided to do. Pulling out of a terrorist state that doesn’t recognize sovereignty and butchers civilian populations is the correct action.

@delric @daringfireball We are, in many countries around the world, rightly condemning other companies that choose to remain in, profit from, and aid Russia. Leaving Russia should not be a hard decision. The question is why not much earlier.
