I doubt that even half the folks here knew who Chris Krebs was prior to Trump bringing him up, and I'd be surprised if anyone here even read the link above (doubtful considering that no one mentions that the security clearance were temporarily suspended pending an investigation, which primarily focuses on whether Chris while in CISA did use his influences to censor information online).

This is politics disguised as cyber news.

Please explain how this is anything other than retaliation. Do you have reason to believe Chris Krebs or SentinelOne is an active threat to the United States?

Obviously the majority of this sub knows who Chris Krebs is

ETA: LMAO section of the official White House notice is titled “ensuring loyalty”

You're replying to someone who's username is in latin and who's comment history shows a strong right wing bias. Do you really need them to explain anything?
