    I would be highly surprised if US antivirus companies aren’t doing pretty much the same as what the US is accusing Kaspersky of doing.

      I would not be highly surprised if data collected by Kaspersky were often enough shared with American 3-letter agencies, and data collected by American companies with FSB and GRU and SVR.

      It’s like in sci-fi series and such they often show the good guys and the bad guys temporarily uniting against a common threat. Only here the common threat would be some journalists or activists or politicians unpleasant for both, maybe. Or just people of a subculture unpleasant for both even. I’d expect anybody dealing in human rights and such to be a target of such cooperation.
