But is not Russian, just like Instagram is not Chinese.

just like Instagram is not Chinese

Do you mean tiktok? Because it's quite a bit more Russian than Instagram is Chinese unless there's some crazy zuck is owned by China conspiracy I'm unaware of.

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.
