You do not have to be onboard. Those that banned them, know what you're asking and then some. But let's ask this question: If Russia wanted, could they pressure Kaspersky to do Russia's dirty work? Fraud charges, tax fines...and outright assassinating a C level exec so the next one learns. Russians play by different rules, let's accept it, and software that could be controlled by them has no place in US Govt computers.
- chrischen 8y agoBy that logic though, all foreign software should be banned. Heck, all non-source-code-audited software, even domestic should be banned. I mean, if they believe Russia interfered with US elections, what's the stop them from interfering with a US software company or getting enough influence to do so?
- saiya-jin 8y agothis doesn't make sense - what about all the chinese software in, well, everything including cell all phones (ie tiny embedded OS running on wifi/4G antenna). I think its a retaliation for discovering stuxnet and bans of US software in russia
