If you are a US based company, you already have to comply with US government legal requests. However, if you are a US company and using a Russian AV, now your AV will have to comply with Russian government requests. Russia is well known for asymmetric attacks, and giving that geopolitical adversary kernel level access to your entire corporate network is … unwise.
I get that corpos are US whores and that’s all good but from individual perspective your own feds are more dangerous then any Russian fed…
So people love saying this shot about Russian companies while skipping the part that this risk is even greater for the person with windows installed on their personal computer.
This isn’t about saving oneself from US access in exchange for Russian access. It is about already permitting US access, then ADDING Russian access on top. It doesn’t matter if the US feds are worse than Russian feds or vise versa, the worst possible choice is giving both entities access. Which is exactly what a US company does when they install a Russian AV across their network.
this risk is even greater for the person with windows installed on their personal computer
I’m fully onboard with Linux. And we can see from the usage charts others are taking notice of the benefits.
Thank you for providing additional context…
Seems reasonable so have to point this out tho
How is this different from any US based company or EU based company for that matter?

Indeed “unwise”

My point being pointing out risk of Russia without point out risk from US can be misleading to a regular reader.
But yes Linux baby, let’s go…
