@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.

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.

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.
