Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab has confirmed that it will officially end its U.S. operations on July 20, 2024, following sanctions from the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), imposed on back in June. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Commerce has added Kaspersky Lab and its affiliates to the Entity List, preventing American businesses from engaging with them.

It was dead by then anyway.

Still interesting, how both ICQ and LJ have been bought out by Russian companies and in practice killed (the former really, the latter is just desert).

I'd say it's a commendation to such model of social interaction over the Internet.

Things we need in the system of the future are an ICQ alternative with contact directory, only secure, and an LJ alternative, actually all the things social media do together in the least possibly hygienic way, done right in a distributed encrypted redundant way.

Am I going to break my chair when the Locutus network launches.
