And there are still many folks who believe that Mozilla is still a foundation. Yet another corporation.
Aged like fine milk
It's both.
And to add to the conversation, the Foundation is the "wOkE" side that chuds love to hate for their social justice efforts, the point being that this decision might as well have nothing to do with the Corporation, since even folks aligned with social justice causes in the West are pro the Russophobia going on right now.

PSA: Yandex has the best reverse image search by a mile. It can even find Instagram posts.
It's a shame that Russia has to be Russia because Yandex has some good stuff. I like their maps and street view equivalent (it only works for places like Russia and Belarus but I've played around with it out of curiosity) - it's less clunky than Google's and it lets you change the year to view streets scenes from different years. If only that could have gone global.

Google Street view lets you do this too, but only on the desktop site. It goes back to 2010 in some areas near me.
Google Earth (the downloadable Windows app) lets you see historical satellite images, more than what's available via Google Maps. There's satellite images going back to the 1940s in some areas, in varying levels of quality.
Actually you're right, it's well hidden.
The Putin Regime is diabolical, of course. And divestments and boycotts helped bring down South Africa apartheid, so such actions they have their place. But I think what bothers a lot of people is the double standards of corporations doing business with, say, the likes of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who trample over human rights and whose brutality has created the worst humanitarian crisis in Yemen. It's definitely worth debating the targeting and effectiveness (and consistency, or lack thereof) in such pulling of services.
