Kaspersky is just one piece of software to avoid. Others include:

Telegram
Avast AV
Anything from 360 Safe / Qihoo 360
Opera browser ... now owned by above
Zoom
FileZilla / UTorrent / other PUA that bundles adware and acts essentially as a trojan

Telegram is better than WhatsApp. At least it has a decent Linux client, and all clients are open source. WhatsApp has neither.

Maybe better client and more features. But Russians have full access to servers and messages. They could read whatever they want. It's a fact that proved during war that Russia started in Ukraine.

This is nonsense. The Founders of Telegram are exiles from Russia.
