Kaspersky, Russia, and the Antivirus Paradox

My point wasnt that it is wrong to refuse to use certain software for whatever potential security liabilities you may get, but about how coverage of the said refusal grew into a smear campaighn against a Russian software company, as a part of the greater witch hunt.

It almost appears that western (particularly US) mass media would post anything they could find that would demonise Russia, for example this WP publication here:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/ampht...t-white-fears/
(and it's criticism here: https://irrussianality.wordpress.com...ssian-culture/)
