    McAfee is not Russan, just like Instagram is not Chinese (I thought it was clear enough).

    Yes it’s a clear reference to TikTok, which I don’t like for many many reasons, but none of those reasons is why it was banned, it’s because it’s Chinese.

      Oh I understand now. I thought you were saying Kaspersky not McAfee. I didn’t think they were saying McAfee was Russian, just absolute garbage bordering malware.
