Cloudflare Weirdly Quiet on Russian Invasion of Ukraine

Cloudflare's blog (https://blog.cloudflare.com/) has typically discussed the implications of major armed conflict on internet access in the affected countries. 7 days after Russia invaded Ukraine, their blog has been weirdly quiet, and they haven't made any public statements. What gives?

    Matthew has been pretty active on Twitter with charts etc. We do plan to blog about it shortly.

    I hope they don't do anything. It's extremely hypocritical to see companies stand up to Russia yet fail to do the same with China, who in recent years stripped Hong Kongers of their human rights, send innocent Uyghurs to concentration camps and engage in genocide, and caused a global pandemic that has killed millions of people around the world (not to mention their human rights abuses in Tibet, organ harvesting industry, etc., all of which is actively taking place today). They (both the CCP and the majority of the people) also happen to support Russia's invasion.

    I saw many pro-russian websites (not necessarily in Russia) to be protected by cloudflare
