CMV: Blocking children’s content for Russian children is unethical.

I work for a popular children’s band in the United States. Among other things, we make wholesome, educational music videos that focus on social-emotional growth and teaching age-appropriate life skills for kids from about 0-5, with a strong focus on toddlers/preschoolers. Recently, our distribution company created a company-wide ban on videos they distribute to Russia. 

This doesn’t sit well with me and I’m struggling to find the upsides to a move like this. While I understand creating pressure on Russia by limiting access to goods and services, I am struggling to see how depriving young children access to positive content that encourages social-emotional learning is doing much more than causing further harm and alienating people who are already subject to copious amounts of propaganda. 

I am also struggling with the idea of what is effectively punishing Russian children for their leaders’ mistakes.

For it to be unethical, we have to make a reasonable case for it harming Russian children.

There have been wholesome, educational music videos for children being produced for, oh, about the last sixty years. There are hundreds of thousands of them. They're everywhere.

This raises the question: do Russian children have an actual *need* for your particular band's content? Will their lives end up worse if they watch pre-existing content instead?
