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.
The reference to Minority Report is right in the subtitle:
The social media app might get hit with a federal lawsuit before its ban officially begins as the FTC has issued a warning for possible future crimes.
and apparently the FTC statement includes these words:
violating or are about to violate the law.
I mean, I also don't really like TikTok and have a hard time picturing an adult using it as well, but that doesn't mean it should be held accountable for "future crimes". At least, that's what the article is claiming...

I don't claim to know what happened, but China's super secretive behavior on it at the beginning, as well as being super controlling when the WHO delegation went to investigate, are enough reasons for me to strongly suspect it. No, I don't have evidence, and I'm not following the scientific method, and there can be other explanations, but humans are humans.

Overall, there's been a big leap in usage compared to five years ago. In February 2019, Linux was reportedly on 1.58 percent of...
Yeah, misleading headline. They're talking about the linux desktop, and based just on browser stats. Marked share of linux as a whole, including all datacenters, servers, cloud infrastructure, and heck, throw in IOT devices, android, routers, etc, I'm pretty sure it's the dominant OS already.
