the consequences of xenophobia. i worked for kaspersky usa from 2011 to 2014 and they were great. it shows how much conspiracy theories take root when people believe eugene has ties with the russian government based on his mandatory service back when it was still the ussr.
Pretty sure it's not xenophobic to look at "Headquarters Moscow, Russia" and wonder if there's any possibility that Putin could enforce something upon the company.
It's not like Russia doesn't do it to us.
It's fair to hurt Russia's GDP by choosing not to use Kaspersky [in light of people's opposition to the war with Ukraine]. That doesn't mean "xenophobic".
Edit: Added bracketed clarification
