I'd suggest that companies of the 1990s had nothing on 1930s-1940s IBM: IBM allied itself with the Third Reich to develop technology (punch card databases) as a key facilitator of the mass identification, enslavement and genocide of millions of people. They also backed another horse in that gruesome episode, creating the punch card database key to running FDR's Japanese internment camps in the western United States.

The internment camps? People were almost universally quite racist, the Empire did everything they could to reinforce this (they were poorly served by the Bushido Code) and it's all very unfortunate.
