What is behind this decision?
The Canadian government on Monday announced a ban on installing the Chinese WeChat messenger and products of the Russian Kaspersky Lab on government devices due to potential privacy and security risks. The Director of Information Technology of Canada stressed that at the time of the decision, there were no cases of compromising government information.
In a statement, the Canadian Treasury Department said that the apps, which are owned by Chinese company Tencent (WeChat) and developed by Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab, pose an "unacceptable level of risk" to privacy and security. In response, the Chinese Foreign Ministry expressed its opposition, saying that the Canadian government imposed restrictions on the activities of Chinese companies without providing any convincing evidence. The Chinese side believes that such actions are an abuse of power and unjustified suppression of business in certain countries.
Chinese official Wang Wenbin called on Canada to reject ideological biases, adhere to the principles of a market economy, and ensure a fair, fair and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies.
Kaspersky Lab, in turn, expressed surprise and disappointment at the decision. The company noted that no evidence was presented or due process was conducted to justify these actions. They believe that the current ban is a reaction of the Canadian government to the geopolitical situation, and not a full assessment of the reliability of the company's products and services.
It is reported that the banned applications were to be removed from state mobile devices on October 30, and in the future users will be prohibited from downloading them.
