<p style="margin:1em 0 0;color:#000;font-family:Georgia,Times,serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:300;line-height:26px">In 1942, smokers of one of the leading cigarette brands noticed a change in the packaging. The green background on Lucky Strike boxes was now white. The American Tobacco Company’s official explanation was that copper, used to produce the green pigment, was at a premium during wartime. To support the Allied troops, the cigarette maker “sacrificed” by abandoning the green dye. In what might be called midcentury virtue signaling, the firm rolled out a massive ad campaign with the slogan, “<a href="https://link.wired.com/click/26903665.28833/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXRsYXMtcmVwcm9wYXBlcndvcmsuY29tL2x1Y2t5LXN0cmlrZS1ncmVlbi1oYXMtZ29uZS10by13YXIvP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9bmwmdXRtX2JyYW5kPXdpcmVkJnV0bV9tYWlsaW5nPVdJUl9QYXl3YWxsU3ViXzAzMDQyMl9TdGV2ZW5MZXZ5JnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1hdWQtZGV2JnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX2NvbnRlbnQ9V0lSX1BheXdhbGxTdWJfMDMwNDIyX1N0ZXZlbkxldnkmYnhpZD01YmVhMTIzYjI0YzE3YzZhZGYxZDJhMjcmY25kaWQ9OTYzNTY0MSZlc3JjPVdJUkVEX0NSTVNlcmllcyZtYmlkPUNSTVdJUjA5MjEyMA/5bea123b24c17c6adf1d2a27Bbb7874c8" style="color:#000;font-family:Georgia,Times,serif;font-size:18px;font-weight:300;line-height:26px;text-decoration:underline;word-break:break-word;word-wrap:break-word" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Lucky Strike Green Has Gone to War.”</a></p>

Multiple times a day, we read about how technology companies ranging from trillionaire giants to startups are prioritizing wartime responsibilities and denying services to Russia or aiding Ukraine. Some of these moves have directly impacted the battlefield, if you extend the war theater to digital cyberstructure as well as the global fight for hearts and minds.

Yet some of those decisions aren’t so clear cut in who they benefit, and what precedents they might establish.

In response, Russia itself is slowing down access to the platform. If Meta decided to pull Facebook from Russia altogether, would it be a punishment or a reward to Putin? Removal might signify a Zuckerbergian solidarity with the emerging corporate boycott, and also provide a means to fully shut down disinformation circulating on Cyrillic News Feeds.

If it doesn’t, the argument goes, cryptocurrencies will be the loophole by which Putin’s oligarchs will shelter their ill-gotten fortunes.

On one hand, it seems like a great idea to freeze the wallets of Russian kleptocrats, just as banks are doing with their offshore accounts. But doing the “right thing” in this case would be like pulling a weight-bearing Jenga piece out of a delicately balanced crypto architecture. If crypto is not amoral, is it really crypto?
