        It sure does support the suspicions this is just an attempt to burn Kaspersky.

        They twigged to the 'optics' that "because the govt said so" isn't as much opsec as it is a completely retarded way to get source material.

        Can’t believe that would even be allowed. Now I realize why this country has been hacked so many times. Bad government.
