@mirkobrombin @vanillaos Why are you still in partnership with the Russian FSB software? How can you trust these people if they drop bombs on Ukrainians every day? Why is partnership with the Russians so important to you?

A business is not a country. Denying our customers, with multiple active installations, the support they deserve because of the actions of a country is not correct.

While we do not share the choices of the Russian government, we have to guarantee assistance and protections to our customers. That's business, not life choice, not politics.

When the licenses expire we provide prices to our customers (we don't use only Kaspersky) and if they don't want to pay more or perform (big) changes due to the choices of a politician we can't deny them cyber protection.

Standing for Open Source must not imply that people can't do business and must not imply choice enforcement to companies that don't even understand what you are telling them but only look at the result given a price.

We have customers that had cyber thread and successful penetration before using Kaspersky.
You can question the choice of the politicians of their country but not the reliability of their software.

Let’s be clear: using or partnering with Kaspersky in 2025 while Russia wages a brutal war against Ukraine - is not “just business.” Kaspersky has well-documented ties to the FSB, Russia’s intelligence agency. Continuing to work with such software isn’t neutral, it’s irresponsible and dangerous.
Claiming “business isn’t a country” is a weak excuse when your tools may be compromised by a regime committing war crimes.

LOL*

*Just to be clear, I’m not laughing at the tragedy of war, I’m laughing at how this turned into a crusade against a phantom enemy. You’re making waves in a sea of nothing. Find a war you can fight with facts. I’m not interested in your witch hunts.

@mirkobrombin @pietrodc0 @vanillaos
You laugh. People die. And companies keep funding it by "just doing business." When your cybersecurity provider is tied to a regime bombing civilians, it's not paranoia - it's complicity. If calling out companies tied to authoritarian regimes feels like a "crusade" to you, maybe you're more comfortable with silence than accountability.
@OpenSourceUpdates @pietrodc0 @vanillaos If you raed my message and then start your with "You laugh. People die", means you are here just to blame people. No thanks.
@OpenSourceUpdates
Thank you for heads up. I had no idea what the fuck vanilla os is, but I will make sure to stay away and spread the word.
