Comment on The Impact of the Kaspersky Banparent

Comments

One could say it's similar to the reasons for banning TikTok (concerns about state control of software), but in general, it's an expanding of existing trade sanctions against Russia.

Tik-Tok and an Anti-virus program have pretty different privilege levels I would think. And generally one doesn't install Tik-Tok on servers in the data center, but I guess I could be surprised.

Yeah, TikTok is worse -- it can potentially enable exploits at layer 8!

Facebook facilitated a genocide. Did TT?

That’s a good example of the influence possible.

But remember, the US governments job is to protect the US, not Myanmar. And Facebook is within the legal jurisdiction of US officials.
