Re: US Gvt and so on
You got it the wrong way round. They blocked Kaspersky because it was capable of detecting their bugs and blocking them. MS with Win10 and Apple with iPhone X Face Id are producing systems that TPTB can access, hence the target list is all those vendors of products that make life difficult for the TPTB, thus the next target for the Kaspersky treatment is.... Linux - controlled by a Finnish-American madman :)
