Kaspersky Lab Sues Trump Administration Over Software Ban (reuters.com)
Moscow-based anti-virus company Kaspersky Lab sued the Trump administration in U.S. federal court on Monday, arguing that the American government has deprived it of due process rights by banning its software from U.S. government agencies. From a report: The lawsuit is the latest effort by Kaspersky Lab to push back on allegations that the company is vulnerable to Kremlin influence. The Department of Homeland Security in September issued a directive to U.S. civilian agencies ordering them to remove Kaspersky Lab from their computer networks within 90 days. The order came amid mounting concern among U.S. officials that the software could enable Russian espionage and threaten national security. The ban was codified last week when President Donald Trump signed legislation banning Kasperky Lab from use across civilian and military agencies.
A) Empathy is not a virtue.
B) Fuck the Christcucks.
You're just a retarded piece of shit, that's all. Muh Russian hackers were a very real influence in the 2016 election cycle and time is not going to be kind to your ignorant, vatnik comments here.
I don't run any anti-virus software on any of my computers (Mac, Linux, Chromebook).
Why would I want to use this Kaspersky software? Does it run on any of my computers? Do I need to buy a new computer?
I don't read your sig. Why are you reading mine?
>Only Americans have rights to anything
remember that when you exit the USA.
Why, you think there's some kind of reciprocity to that viewpoint? The rule applies anywhere on Earth, all other nations exist to serve America.
It probably would have been better (for Trump) if Putin hadn't done that.
I think there's a strong likelihood that a lot of the anti-Trump trolling and news has Russian origins (ex. dossier). Just a little tweaking of the original anti-POTUS tooling they had prepared for Hillary to create persistent discord in the US.
