>In a letter to one of Cogent’s Russian customers obtained by The Washington Post, the company wrote, “In light of the unwarranted and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, Cogent is terminating all of your services effective at 5 p.m. GMT on March 4, 2022.
I find funny the similarity between this and a to a letter to an individual losing his internet service.
Great, help Putin with censorship, Roscomnadzor clearly can’t handle it alone :(((
Putin made it virtually impossible to operate a foreign company in Russia. They are barred from transferring money out of the country, most likely bank and a sanctioned entity, and have been banned from transacting in financial markets.
Companies can use whatever reason they want, but even if they wanted to continue operating, they likely couldn’t.
I worked for this Company and I’m happy they have taken an ethical position against Russia.
Isn’t that stupid? That only helps Putin with censorship.
