How about this then? The sanctions are implemented by a wide ranging alliance of democratically elected governments, meaning they have a mandate behind them and legitimacy. These malware efforts are vigilantism.
- stuxneteer 5y agoThese malware efforts are not too different from western companies voluntarily pulling out of Russia, they’re also engaging in their own kind of “vigilantism”. The question is whether or not this kind of “vigilantism” is bad. It’s not obvious to me that it’s any worse than McDonalds or LVMH shutting down their stores in Russia. There’s no doubt sanctions have wider backing, but that’s hardly a moral argument. The legal side is indisputable and pointless to debate.
