[Acroplex]

The CEO of Tucows delivered the company's position in a letter to its financial advisors (banks, accountants, auditors.) The letter seeks the respective firms' position on how funds to Russian destinations are handled, due to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Read the details.

It's none of Mr Noss's business what I do or don't do. This isn't Russia.

Maybe you didn't read the article or didn't understand its scope?

Tucows has business/financial partners and inquires what type of "know your customer" policy they have in place. In other words, if money goes to Russian interests, Tucows wants to know about that.

Not this again. Companies pretending to be virtuous again. What next, rainbow Ukraine unicorn flags at every sports event...

No problem doing business with Russia when they took Crimea. Where is his letter on China or the UAE? Libya? No letters when Obama and Clinton murdered Muammar Gaddafi and plunged north Africa into civil war and slavery ?

It's not Mr Noss's business to know what customers a bank or law firm have. This letter should be, and likely will be ignored. If Mr Noss wants to help, he can donate his time and resources to ADRA or the Red Cross.

I hope and believe this is also part of the overall plan. Criticism is cheap, actions count.

Not everyone needs to follow the example of Tucows with regards to their clients' money trail. Also, you are free to fly the Russian tricolor if you feel so inclined.

Public statements are also cheap and easy.

We are all hypocrites to some extent, actually doing something is what counts.

 

[Acroplex]

Well, I guess we'll be waiting for the swift (and SWIFT) actions that follow the public statements.

"Russian regime" guys please use correct words : P u t i n regime.

Russians don't support this war.

Russians prefer to be a part of EU. not like as Iran or North Korea..

That is not our war.

The people are not the Government in socialist dictatorships. I understand there are families separated on both sides of the border.

God willing, this will be over soon.

"Ukraine has agreed to peace talks with Russia, per President Zelenskyy's office. They will be held at the Belarusian border near the Pripyat River. The talks could come as soon as today."

That's the Tucows CEO's words, not mine. A regime is a reference to the rulers of a country, most definitely not its people. I sympathize with your frustration, 20 years with Putin is far too many.

My point being that we don't need to get caught up about every news story and statements are ten a penny, from every moronic brand.

And before anyone says that this time it's important this one, so is every other one... apparently.

 

[Acroplex]

And my point is that I cover news related to the domain industry. Personally, I didn't see any other domain industry company issue "ten a penny" statements such as this one. So take it for what's it worth, whether it's one penny or a fraction thereof.

It's worth less than ten a penny, well observed. To me.

 

[Acroplex]

Not my assessment, just quoting your personal weighing on the subject.

I encourage all to become #depoliticized

Every action that puts pressure on the rulers of Russia to back off and out of this tragic war with Ukraine counts. Every "tenth of a penny" counts. There are numerous deaths from both sides already. Ethically and historically even, Ukraine has the right, obligation, and commitment to defend its land and people.

A form letter isn't pressure. Neither is the form letter response.

That's what they say about everything. Climate emergency anyone?

Become #depoliticized and everyone can stop embarrassing themselves by being dragged into complete rubbish that's nothing to do with them.

Good to see at least one of the big boys move in the right direction to start.

Do they support the ones that want Russia to take over like they have their whole lives?
