In 2017, the US government banned Kaspersky on government systems, if that’s what you’re thinking of. This new ban sounds to me like the recent TikTok ban, where it would affect the US population at-large and not just government systems.

Oh man, that’s really gonna show em. There aren’t anymore sanctions they can do. So ban Kaspersky I guess? Putin doesn’t give a crap. He’s got plenty of oil, friends with China.

He can do this but nothing about letting women get abortions or forgiving student loans?

In all three cases, he can do it as long as Congress gives him that power. In this case it’s unlikely Congress will push back on banning Russian software, in the other two the republicans have promised to block any executive effort

Well, let’s get all three branches of government solidly blue. Then you can complain about things not getting done.
