Remove flag censorship

Dear Chess.com,

I had thought it was strange when chess.com decided to make a statement about the war in Ukraine and, furthermore, that it decided to censor the flags of the Russian Federation (and Belarus, for some reason?). I don't think you appreciate the can of worms you opened by setting the precedent that chess.com is concerned with foreign policy; your silence on other incidents now implies some level of endorsement. What I mean to say is, do you also plan to censor Azerbaijani flags for the invasion of Artsakh? How about the israeli flag for the ongoing genocide and occupation of Palestine? Do you support those events or do you not care? Why the exception for Ukraine?

I don't care to know that the site admins agree with me politically or not, it's just that you've set a very strange double standard for yourself, and the simplest solution would be to restore all flags.

Other than what is in the following article, this isn't a discussion allowed in the forums.
