Twitter Inc. announced Friday that it has banned ads from Kaspersky Lab, saying the company's business model violates advertising regulations and citing US allegations that Kaspersky is linked to Russian intelligence services.
Twitter confirmed the ban in an email post officey towards it Reuters When the founder Kaspersky Lab's Eugene Kaspersky revealed what happened in a post on his blog.
Η απαγόρευση από το Twitter ακολουθεί την γραμμή της Washington που έχει γνωστοποιήσει ότι η Kaspersky Lab έχει στενούς δεσμούς με τις υπηρεσίες πληροφοριών της Ρωσίας και ότι το λογισμικό της θα μπορούσε να χρησιμοποιηθεί για κατασκοπία, γεγονός που ώθησε τη κυβέρνηση του Trump να απαγορεύσει τα productthe company's from US government networks.
Kaspersky Lab has repeatedly denied these claims saying it will open it code of the app so it could be inspected by experts and asked a US federal court to lift the ban.
Eugene Kaspersky says on his blog:
We have not violated any written or unwritten term and our business model is the same business model used throughout the cyber industry: We provide our users with products and services and pay us.
However, Facebook Inc also said it had removed Kaspersky Lab last October from its antivirus lists as a preventive one for social network users.
