Comment on Kaspersky is shutting down its business in the United States
stardust@lemmy.ca 2 months agoI think most countries spie on their citizens and a lot of the same countries probably don’t want other countries doing the same due to possible unwanted intel leaks in government and corporate sectors.

we should not be okay with that

Not saying it is okay. Pointing out that even if hypocritical there’s generally a strategic reason for countries to deter international spying. Would be quite a puzzling decision for any country to provide an open door other countries to spy on them.

What makes you think this’ll deter international spying?
stardust@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Not claiming it is effective, but trying to set barriers seems logical when it comes to outsiders. But, spying by its nature is constant attempts to sneak past barriers, so attempts aren’t going to stop.
Are you saying why do countries bother trying to block and catch spying attempts from other countries?

I’m certainly not OK with it.
